[Divorce Lawyers]

Episode 3

Divorce is not the end of your life.

If he insists on getting divorced

I'll definitely use all of my legal knowledge

to win you as much of his assets as possible.

We'll take him to the cleaners.

I'm unlucky to get divorced.

But thank goodness you're just my ex-wife's lawyer and not my ex-wife.

You should say you weren't really that unlucky.

But your real misfortune is that your wife has chosen me to be her lawyer.

- We'll definitely win. - How can you be so sure?

Because I've never lost before.

I became busier at work

and we didn't talk at all.

As soon as something new and exciting entered the marriage

it was doomed to collapse.

Something new and exciting?

Can you be a bit more specific?

- Like an affair. - Whose affair?

Mine.

Master Chi, as an experienced mentor in life

are you able to point out the right direction for a single lady like me?

Okay, since I'm more experienced let me give you some good advice.

Life is like floating around in an ocean.

What are the most important things? Your life, freedom, and land.

If you care too much about the broken logs that are around you

one day you will suddenly realize that you're stuck on a broken log

and then it will be too late.

That was emotional attachment.

Now, let's talk about the economic aspect.

I'm personally an asset that has an ever growing value.

That's due to my own luck and lots of effort.

Every case that I take on will earn me another huge payout.

As for Jiao Yan Yan

as time goes by, she'll just grow older, day by day.

As they say on Wall Street

every transaction has a trading position.

Dating women is just like a trading position.

If I don't try to get rid of her once she starts to lose her value

then I'll be stuck with her.

I'm quite surprised by what you said, Master Chi.

Honey, are we still inviting your cousin?

Of course. How can we not invite my cousin?

But I've already invited Hai Dong. What if they see each other?

I want to give them a chance to see each other again.

But they'll be going to court tomorrow.

They can still get back together.

Listen, they'll never get back together.

Other people might, but Hai Dong will never agree to it.

If he remarries your cousin again then even I will look down on him.

Who do you think you are to look down on him?

If a man's wife cheats on him

he might still take her back if no one else knows about it.

But I'm his best friend.

I was right there and saw everything.

How can he forgive her?

Also, it's all Yan Yan's fault in the first place.

But she still lied to you to gain your sympathy.

How despicable.

Don't say that.

Yan Yan's my cousin.

I know who she truly loves and cares about.

Judging from Yan Yan's character

I don't think she'd flirt with other men.

Perhaps there's another story.

Baby...

Don't get mad...

I didn't mean what I said.

We shouldn't let their problem affect us, right?

We should learn from their mistake.

Make sure we don't follow in their footsteps.

I promise I'll love you and look after you for the rest of my life.

Ever since the first time I saw you

I was conquered by you.

But according to my memory we almost ended up in a brawl.

- We did? - Don't you remember?

No, we didn't.

So what kind of women do you usually like to conquer?

Women like you.

Look at you, young, beautiful, true, and brave.

You're presentable and have a great job.

You can also cook so many delicious dishes.

Most importantly...

you can even do handstands.

This is the first time that I've ever met a woman like you.

I find you very attractive indeed.

Don't go tonight.

You're scaring me.

We have to go to court tomorrow. Get some rest.

I haven't finished yet.

Throughout my marriage, there's always been an affair.

Did you hear that?

I've always been having affairs.

I can even show you how I did it.

You're drunk, Master Chi.

Honey, breakfast is ready.

Thanks, honey, but I'm running late.

But you still need to have breakfast.

Yan Yan's going to court today. Quickly, get changed and come with me.

Hang on, why are you going to see them get divorced?

She's my cousin! I have to be there for her.

Stop, sit down...

- Listen to me. - What are you doing?

I know it's important to you.

But you're pregnant now so I don't think you should go.

Listen to me.

If I didn't go with you, then I'd be very worried about you.

But if I went with you and saw them yell at each other in court

then I'd feel really bad.

Baby, we can go to weddings.

But divorce is not a happy occasion. Let's stay out of it, okay?

I don't think our baby would like it either.

So what should I say to Yan Yan?

She's specifically asked me to be there.

It's simple, just tell her this.

Just say I'm now in charge of making all the decisions in this house.

So if I say you can't go, then you wouldn't dare disobey me.

Then she'll definitely laugh at me.

What if she asks me, 'Since when did you start listening to him?'

'So is he the boss now?'

Don't worry, let me tell you.

Women are considered lucky to have a decision maker in the house.

Only unlucky women have to look after themselves.

If a woman can take care of everything like Superwoman

then why would she need a man, right?

Let's take a photo of such a happy moment.

I reckon the main reason our relationship fell apart

stemmed from my lack of understanding of my wife.

I was actually really looking forward to leading a married life.

I always thought

when I got home after a hard day's work

that my house would be very warm clean, and tidy.

But that's not how it turned out to be.

I reckon that while the man's supposed to be the bread earner

the woman shouldn't be merely responsible for shopping, going for facials

and going on shopping sprees.

So after some serious consideration of my future

I realized I'd never be happy in such a marriage.

Therefore, I have the right and freedom to get a divorce.

I'd like to request the court to support my request and approve my divorce.

Your honor, in order to successfully get divorced

the plaintiff has falsely accused his wife.

In actual fact, my client, Jiao Yan Yan, is a very responsible wife.

She's both beautiful and very domesticated.

She loves her husband dearly and has made immense sacrifices for their family.

The real reason for the breakdown of their marriage

was due to the plaintiff's irresponsible attitude towards his marriage.

I'd like to ask the court clerk to play the voice recording.

Life is like floating around in an ocean.

What are the most important things? Your life, freedom, and land.

If you care too much about the broken logs that are around you

one day you will suddenly realize that you're stuck on a broken log

and then it will be too late.

I became busier at work

and we didn't have anything to talk about.

As soon as something new and exciting entered the marriage

it was doomed to collapse.

Something new and exciting?

Can you be a bit more specific?

- Like an affair. - Whose affair?

Mine.

I'm personally an asset that has an ever growing value.

That's due to my own luck and lots of effort.

Every case that I take on will earn me another huge payout.

As for Jiao Yan Yan

as time goes by, she'll just grow older, day by day.

As they say on Wall Street

every transaction has a trading position.

Dating women is just like a trading position.

If I don't try to get rid of her once she starts to lose her value

then I'll be stuck with her.

Plaintiff.

Do you have any objection to this voice recording?

I think the defendant's lawyer has obtained this voice recording

through extremely despicable means.

From the voice recording we can tell

that the plaintiff has already clearly explained his real reason for divorce.

He used marriage as bait to trick a beautiful young girl into marrying him.

But she didn't know that the plaintiff had never planned to stay married forever

and that he'd get rid of her two or three years later, just like his stock shares.

Then he'd continue to use marriage as bait

to lure other girls who are even younger and prettier.

My client, Jiao Yan Yan, is a full-time wife.

For the past few years, she's been taking very good care of the plaintiff.

But since the plaintiff has gotten bored with her

my client's been forced to move out without having done anything wrong.

I find such a divorce is absolutely disgraceful.

As for the allocation of either party's assets owned prior to the marriage

unless there's a written agreement

they'll never become shared assets.

Both my two houses and my savings were already mine prior to our marriage.

If Jiao Yan Yan can take away all my hard-earned savings

just because she married me...

then marriage should be considered the same as robbery.

Plaintiff.

Do you still remember that you once made your wife a promise?

You said if you ever were unfaithful to her

then you'd do whatever she said.

If you've forgotten about it

I can play your WeChat record right now to trigger your memory.

Court clerk, please play it for us.

I'm going to play golf in Shanghai tomorrow.

I'll be flying out with some friends tonight.

You want to go? If you do, then you'd better start packing.

If you're going with your friends then I won't tag along.

I'm going to a ballet performance this weekend, will you be back by then?

For sure.

Since that's the only elegant hobby that my dear wife has

I can definitely indulge her.

Behave yourself, you hear me?

Of course I will.

If I dare lay eyes on another woman then you can punish me.

I'll do whatever you say.

Then I put my full trust in you.

Sure, I'll give you anything.

All right, I'll go straight to the airport. Bye.

Plaintiff.

Do you have anything to say about this WeChat record?

I do.

I'd like to ask Miss Jiao Yan Yan something.

After listening to that conversation...

do you agree that it was just a joke between us?

Plaintiff.

Then can you tell me what a wedding vow is?

Looks like the plaintiff has taken marriage's basic faithfulness as a joke.

Your honor.

The plaintiff used to send a lot of emails to my client when he was pursuing her.

In order to gain my client's trust

the plaintiff gave her a written promise.

It clearly states that if he ever becomes unfaithful to my client

then she will have the right to take all of his assets.

Plaintiff, I don't think you have any objection to this evidence, do you?

Can you really take what a man says when he's in love

or when he's drunk, as a legal agreement?

In my eyes...

they're just bullshit.

I find the plaintiff's response absolutely disgraceful.

I think you've seriously insulted the true meaning of love and marriage.

Let me remind you.

If a drunk man signs a contract without being forced

it is still a binding contract.

Your honor.

The plaintiff has voluntarily made a written promise

and my client has married him in response to his promise.

Therefore, an agreement of faithfulness was formed.

So as long as it doesn't contradict our laws and regulations

the agreement should be considered to be effective and binding.

Since the defendant's lawyer keeps accusing me of being unfaithful

I'd like to ask if you've got evidence or not.

Court clerk, please continue playing the voice recording.

This is the first time that I've ever met a woman like you.

I find you very attractive indeed.

Don't forget, I'm your wife's lawyer.

Jiao Yan Yan's nothing.

If you want to keep drinking why not stay for the night?

I haven't finished yet.

Throughout my marriage, there's always been an affair.

Did you hear that?

I've always been having affairs.

Let me make myself clear.

I've always been having affairs.

I've always been having affairs.

That's impossible...

Plaintiff.

Do you agree to the validity of all the evidence and voice recordings

that the defense has presented?

- I do. - That's impossible, Hai Dong!

Impossible.

Why would you do that to me?

What should I do, Luo Li?

Hai Dong would never do that to me.

Hai Dong, how could you hurt me like that?

Yeah... well done...

Congratulations.

All right, please be quiet and listen to me.

It's actually a double celebration today.

It is certainly a joyous day indeed.

Firstly, we have to congratulate Luo Li

for defeating the so-called unbeatable lawyer

who's never, ever had a loss.

Well done...

Luo Li, although your case was eventually settled out of court

and Chi Hai Dong's given up everything

you're still considered the winner.

It's certainly not easy.

- So how did you do it? - Yeah...

Don't stir things up, I'll drink.

Come on, cheers!

Everyone, let me announce our second reason for celebration.

Do you know what it is?

The second reason for celebration

is that one of our classmates is getting married.

- Put your hands together for Tang Mei Yu. - Yeah...

Li Li.

Congratulations, I'm so happy for you.

You're going to be the best lawyer in China.

Don't waste your talent.

Trust me, don't just marry any man

and live an ordinary and boring life.

Such an ordinary life

will only destroy you rather than help you become successful.

I never gave such advice to anyone else.

Only for you.

Li Li.

Are you listening to me?

I'm really happy for you.

Extremely happy.

I hope...

I hope to hear your voice soon.

Li Li, congratulations.

You're going to be the best lawyer in China.

It's Wu Wen Hui, right?

- But I didn't reply to him. - I'm not saying you can't reply to him.

You should reply to him.

He's a brilliant lawyer and has a very high status in this industry.

If he gives you an opportunity, then you'll become very successful.

If he passes a case on to you, then you'll become extremely rich.

All right, your highness, let's go in.

I was on my way to the bathroom. Did you think I came out just to check on you?

All right, your highness, let's go to the bathroom.

I'm always going to the bathroom now.

Okay, stop complaining.

Master Chi.

Can you tell me why you agreed to give up all your assets?

Since I've been a lawyer for so many years

did you really think I didn't know why she came to my place?

You mean you lost on purpose?

In this case, losing is winning

while winning is also losing.

If I had not been so cruel to Jiao Yan Yan...

then... how was she supposed to start a new life?

But now you're back to square one.

Don't worry, I'm still here for you.

Let's start all over again.

Don't be too upset.

Xiao Gang.

We're divorce lawyers.

As part of our job when we see people get married, we must warn them to be careful.

When we see people get divorced we must congratulate them.

Congratulations.

Same to you.

I hope to hear your voice soon.

See? This is your problem.

You still can't get over him.

Why listen to his messages when you're not going to reply?

Don't pretend to be sentimental.

What do you want me to do?

Block him?

I'll block him now.

Even if you block him now

you're just going to unblock him in the middle of the night.

What's the point?

I'm not asking you to stop talking to him.

You can see him and talk to him every day.

You can even work on cases with him.

But you should find a man who belongs to you and you only.

Someone who loves you and cares about you.

I know, I've read your blog, Happy Bride.

I'll even become a mother soon.

Look at you.

We're having a gathering today. You're not going to court.

Can you dress more femininely?

I think this outfit looks great.

Listen, what matters most to a woman is marrying a good man.

Marriage and children are the biggest joys in your life.

It doesn't matter how many cases you win.

More than 90 percent of the women who cry to us every day are married with kids.

Why don't I see any joy in them?

That's because they didn't find the right men.

You must find someone who's responsible.

Someone like Cao Qian Kuen.

Okay, congratulations, your highness.

You've finally found your king.

- Shall we go back, your highness? - Be serious.

Let's go.

Xiao Gang.

I won't be going to Cao Qian Kuen's wedding today.

He's one of our major clients.

Give him 10,000 yuan in a red envelope.

But I'm already here.

Give me your account number and I'll transfer it to you.

It's okay, I'll go to the ATM.

There's a bank here, don't worry.

Okay.

[Wrong PIN, try again.]

Excuse me, did you forget your PIN?

Attorney Luo? What are you...

You're here for Tang Mei Yu's wedding, right?

Yes, did you forget your red envelope, too?

I didn't forget mine. It's Master Chi.

So did you forget yours?

You won't believe it. I put it into my bag but ended up taking another handbag.

If you've forgotten your PIN, can I use it first?

Yes, certainly.

Na Na, it's Xiao Gang.

Can you tell me when your birthday is?

No, I know.

I'm at the ATM right now, but I forgot my PIN.

I used your birthday as my PIN.

Hello?

It probably isn't even your birthday.

Qian Qian, it's me... it's Xiao Gang.

Well, I'm good, how about you?

Really? That's good to hear.

So have you found a boyfriend yet?

Not yet? That's great.

Why don't I celebrate your birthday with you this year?

It's already passed? Wait...

Can you at least tell me when it was?

Hello?

Can't remember your PIN?

Well, this is a perfect lesson for teaching me

not to use my girlfriend's birthday as my PIN.

The point is, you have too many girlfriends.

Attorney Luo.

Can you please do me a favor?

Can you put 10,000 yuan into another red envelope and write my boss's name on it?

Consider it a favor for him.

Why would I want to do him a favor?

- But... - Why isn't he coming today?

You should know why.

Remember how you won the case in court the other day?

He was so embarrassed.

Consider it a small favor for the loser, okay?

Please?

All right.

- Make sure you pay me back. - I will.

Are you sure about this?

Yes, I am.

Marriage is a big deal.

Aren't you going to tell your parents?

What should I do?

They won't agree to it.

Since you've already made up your mind

sooner or later they'll have to accept it.

Hello?

Attorney Luo's in a meeting with her client right now.

I'm her assistant, Lisa, is there anything I can help you with?

I see.

Why don't I give you my email address?

You can email your information to me, okay?

Okay...

You're welcome, bye.

That tone of voice almost made me sick.

After I won that last divorce case

everyone wants me to handle their divorce cases.

Is that good or bad?

Now that you've suddenly become famous by winning that case

why don't you get yourself a real assistant.

Why pretend to be Lisa every day?

Sure.

If you give me money, I'll get myself a hundred assistants.

You're so stingy.

- So what if I am? - So is our bride all ready to go?

Here's her bouquet, bridesmaid.

Thank you.

Come on, get up...

Hold this.

Stand over there.

I'll be standing right here.

Make sure you get the right angle

and throw over here, not there, okay?

Luo Li, are you asking me to cheat when I throw my bouquet?

Tang Mei Yu, we're best friends.

All that matters in this wedding is that bouquet.

My future happiness depends on you.

I beg you, come on.

All right, then I'll cheat with you.

- Don't you let me down. - Hurry up.

One.

Two.

I love you, my bride!

My dear bride.

I can't believe you're actually getting married.

I'll miss you.

You know what?

When we were still at university

I'd already pictured today many times.

But in those fantasies

you were always the bride

while I was the person catching the bouquet.

I really didn't expect it to be completely the opposite.

You're so annoying.

Why are you being so sentimental?

You've almost made me cry.

After your baby grows up

he can be my page boy.

Are you sure that day will really come?

Touch wood, don't jinx me, okay?

Perhaps I'll meet someone at your wedding and marry him tomorrow.

You won't have to take down your stage, because I'll be using it tomorrow.

This way, I'll be able to save money.

Today is a joyful day.

A sweet day.

As well as a very special day.

Because Mr. Cao Qian Kuen and Miss Tang Mei Yu have chosen today

to be their wedding day.

Look how beautiful my cousin is today.

But you're still the most beautiful of all.

At this moment in time, what you would like to say to everyone?

- It's okay. - Say something...

Well, I'd like to thank you all for coming here today.

Actually, I want to say a lot of things but I'm too nervous to say anything now.

Mei Yu.

Thank you so much for giving me a home in this freezing cold city.

Thank you.

How about this?

To cut a long story short

action speaks louder than words. I'll stay faithful to Mei Yu forever.

Yes!

Would our beautiful bride like to say a few words to us?

Actually, we're not the only two people who are standing here right now.

Cao Qian Kuen.

Make sure you treat us mother and child well.

Yes!

Now let's witness the most sacred moment.

Bride and groom, please exchange your wedding rings.

Photographers, make sure you capture this moment.

The ring.

The ring...

The ring!

Give it to her.

Hopefully, with this ring

you'll send your love into each other's hearts

through your fingertips and along your bloodstreams.

After such a sacred moment

would you like to hear their wedding vows now?

Yes!

From this day forward

we'll become a lawfully wedded couple.

To have and to hold

for richer, for poorer

in sickness and in health

we shall stay together

and never grow apart.

Cao Qian Kuen.

Tang Mei Yu.

Yes!

Mr. Cao, what are you waiting for?

Kiss the bride...

- What's going on between them? - I'll tell you later.

- You look beautiful. - Thank you, enjoy yourself.

Congratulations, my dear cousin.

Mei Yu.

Cousin, you look beautiful today.

I was so touched.

- I'm so happy for you, congratulations. - Thank you.

Congratulations.

Luo Li.

Thank you so much for your help with my case.

I'd like to treat you to dinner when you have time.

You should really thank Attorney Luo.

She's so professional.

In order to fight for your benefit, she actually went into his home.

Go and get something to eat.

Hello.

Hi.

You're the most beautiful bridesmaid that I've ever seen.

- Really? - As beautiful as the bride.

Thank you...

I'm actually quite interested in career women like you.

- So is everything settled now? - Almost.

He's already moved all his things out of the mansion.

He's still in the process of moving out of the apartment now.

You better behave yourself.

Can't you even wait a few more days?

I know. It'll be fine.

It's your big day today, don't worry about me.

I'll go over there first.

You seemed a bit distracted at the ceremony just then.

- Did I? - Yes.

- You almost gave me the ring instead. - Really?

- Sorry, excuse me for a moment. - Sure.

I think I know what's going on.

So you already knew about them?

I thought you would have known, too.

Why would I know?

No one ever told me about it.

Well, now you know.

What difference would it make?

Put it this way.

Even if Jiao Yan Yan did cheat on him

you're her lawyer

and you would have still had to take her side and defend her.

You should fight for the rights of the person who pays you.

You can't exactly take her money but help her husband, right?

Mei Yu, you're supposed to be a lawyer.

Didn't you know it could have affected my professional judgment?

All right, let's not talk about it today.

It's my big day today.

Let's go for my toast.

Chen Er.

Thank you so much.

Thanks for being my MC today.

Don't say that, we're good friends.

- It's not a big deal. - It's just a little something.

- You must take it... - No...

Thank you, I mean it.

Okay, hopefully it'll bring me good luck.

Your bridesmaid's not bad at all.

- Really? - Yeah.

- My classmate. - Really?

Yes, mature and single.

Didn't you see the way she was clinging to my ring?

Women her age get an emotional reminder every time they attend a wedding.

Then why don't you go to her rescue?

- No, I've already tried... - Come on, go rescue her.

She's not bad, a divorce lawyer.

Really?

See that?

See what?

Jiao Yan Yan and her new boyfriend.

She's divorced, so now she's single again.

It's normal to have a boyfriend.

If they got together after she got divorced

then it's called freedom of love.

Otherwise, it'd be called cheating.

You're a lawyer. Have you got proof?

Proof?

I saw it, so I'm the witness.

You saw it?

What did you see?

- I can't really tell you. - Really?

- I bet you're making it up. - Whatever.

I think you're quite confident in yourself.

I can't believe you actually dared to take on Jiao Yan Yan's divorce case.

You two are unbelievable.

Thank goodness you're a lawyer and not a judge.

If you had the power of a judge

then Chi Hai Dong wouldn't have been the only one to be treated unjustly.

Treated unjustly?

You have heard the voice recording in court, right?

- Do you read detective novels? - Sorry, not interested.

There's always only one truth.

Only God knows.

Have fun.

Why did you get changed?

I'm not feeling well. I'm going home.

- But I'm about to throw my bouquet. - Next time.

Next...

Who'd want a next time?

As soon as something new and exciting entered the marriage

it was doomed to collapse.

Something new and exciting?

Can you be a bit more specific?

- Like an affair. - Whose affair?

Mine.

Can you be a bit more specific?

- Like an affair. - Whose affair?

Mine.

I haven't finished yet.

Throughout my marriage, there's always been an affair.

Don't go tonight.

Let me make myself clear.

I've always been having affairs.

Birds of a feather.
