Stop filming. Come and help. You idiot!

Stop moving or I'll beat you!

I can't believe Lian Yan-fei would do this.

Isn't she Baby Pet's brand endorser?

Let's boycott her!

Stop growling!

Are they just filming? Or is it really happening?

Let the dog go!

Stop filming. Come and help. You idiot!

Stop filming. Come and help. You idiot!

Stop filming, you idiot...

You idiot.

Idiot.

You idiot. Come and help.

So she's a fake animal lover.

Let the dog go!

Let's boycott her!

Chu Hsing Law Firm

Nicole.

Why isn't anyone watering the plants?

They're dying.

The water has been cut off. Hui-yun hasn't paid the bill.

Why?

I'm just asking.

You're so nice all of a sudden.

You've never cared about us.

The East Asia Lawyer cocktail party is held today!

Do you mean the legendary lawyer party?

Yes, each year,

the lawyers from the top five law firms would participate.

But it's by invitation only.

That cocktail party?

I attended it when I was young.

Usually, big companies look for paralegals there.

Sometimes, the rich look for lawyers at the party too.

Shame, we've never been invited

or we could get some clients.

We could pay for our water bill too.

Don't you know a lot of people?

Take Xiao-yan with you.

I'm going to the toilet.

Who hasn't flushed the poo?

Lin Xiao-yan.

I've told you many times. Flush after you use the toilet!

-It's an Enoki mushroom. -Enoki mushroom?

I didn't go.

I didn't eat Enoki mushroom.

Hey, Lin Xiao-yan.

Where have you been?

Haven't you changed already?

Hurry up. The whole world is waiting.

How much longer?

You need to pick up Liang-liang in five minutes.

Don't bother coming.

Excuse me, please show me your invitation.

Jessica.

Don't you know who I am?

I know, Mr. Liu.

That's right.

I'm sorry, we still need to see the invitation.

Jessica, I come every year.

Don't you remember?

Right?

Excuse me.

-Okay, please come in. -Thank you.

Jessica.

Do you know who that is?

I don't.

You don't even know who he is!

And I can't go in?

I'm sorry, but you're not on the guest list.

Could I please use the toilet then?

Okay.

I heard that Lian Yan-fei is here.

Lian Yan-fei is a has-been.

I prefer Amy now. She has bigger boobs.

I'm back.

-Duo-duo is going home. -Liang-liang!

-He behaved well today. -Hi, Miss Xiao-yan!

-Really? -Yes.

Thank you. Say bye to the headmistress.

-Bye. -Bye.

See you, headmistress.

-Thank you. -Bye.

Excuse me.

Who are you?

Hello, I'm Liu Lang's colleague.

I'm Lin Xiao-yan.

I'm here to pick Liang-liang up.

So he's busy again today?

Yes.

Is everything alright?

I've got something to tell him.

Could you please tell him

to come over when he's free tomorrow?

Sure.

If it's urgent,

you could tell me now.

I'm very close to them both.

Take a look.

Liang-liang drew this for "My Father".

According to my experience,

when kids draw,

they add stuff from their imagination.

But when drawing parents or relatives,

they'd attempt to make them look realistic.

What I want to know is

why did Liang-liang drew his father this way.

Sure.

The hair is a bit short.

I'm more worried about this.

This is "My home" by Liang-liang.

Why is it so black?

It means he's under a lot of mental pressure.

Is it that serious?

I think

they didn't pay for electricity

so the power was cut off.

The way he draws

is how abused children usually draw.

That's impossible.

Liu Lang

would never do that.

I'm not implying

that Mr. Liu is abusive.

But if Liang-liang continues to be under pressure,

it'd really affect him in the long run.

Liang-liang has been here for a while.

I've noticed

that Mr. Liu makes little effort to engage in his studies.

And he often comes late to pick him up.

Last time, he asked Mr. Xu to come.

Today, it's you.

I would suggest

that he spends more time with his kid.

It's better for Liang-liang.

Today really is an exception.

But I would let him know what you've said.

Thank you.

Not at all.

There's one more thing.

What is it?

Miss Lian.

I thought we had agreed to let me handle the negotiation.

You showing up here

is really bothering Mr. Hsiao and me.

Where's your agent?

Miss Jing isn't here today.

I'd like to speak to Mr. Hsiao again.

Mr. Hsiao?

I have nothing to say to a pet abuser.

I didn't abuse the dog.

Who'd buy that?

Me. I believe her.

Anyway,

my client, Baby Pet, has made things clear.

Miss Lian.

You were a spokesperson for Baby Pet.

Then you got into this dog-abuse scandal.

Not only was its reputation ruined,

but the sales also dropped by 30%.

We are only asking for early contract termination.

We wouldn't sue or ask for compensation.

I think this is a pretty good deal.

I don't know what else you could ask for.

I'm not asking for anything.

I'm just trying to explain.

-I wasn't abusing... -You don't have to.

Does it make a difference?

Your video is now trending.

Would you like to watch the video again?

With this video proof,

no one cares about the truth or whatever.

Honestly, we don't care either.

You don't seem like a bad person so I'll give you some advice.

Accept the conditions and settle.

It's good for you

and for us.

Mr. Hsiao is right.

You were abusing a dog in the video.

Nobody wants to listen to your explanation.

Your sponsor's deal is reasonable.

I don't know why you still insist.

If this goes to court,

it will seriously damage your career.

This is a fancy occasion.

Who let this lunatic in?

I was wondering where the smell comes from.

It's you two crackheads!

Liu Lang.

How are you still alive?

I'm sorry for disappointing you. I'm alive and well.

But you.

You're getting more arrogant by the day.

I'd never seen you like this in Heng Yu before.

-What... -And you, little trash.

Are you insulting...

Hello.

I'm Liu Lang. I'm a lawyer as well.

You're more like a fraud instead.

Which lame school did you go to?

Which lame law firm are you working for?

You are paid to do your job!

But you said nothing to defend your client.

You even helped this...

-What's your name? -Hsiao...

Whatever!

You're helping this animal against your client.

You have no professional ethics!

What did they teach you at school?

You animal, take away this trash!

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

That was epic. I swooned.

My knees have gone weak.

I'm sorry about that.

-Mr. Liu. -Yes.

Are you free in the near future?

I'm free. What would you like to do?

You're fired.

Miss Lian.

You need to think this through.

-This man... -I have thought it through.

Please take this trash and leave. Thank you.

So long.

Here.

Mr. Liu, this case...

I heard everything.

Those trash...

No, those scums weren't helping you at all.

Hello.

Tell Hui-yun I've gotten a new case.

Liang-liang?

What about him?

Liang-liang is a missing child?

Could you be any louder?

Did you go to social service

or ask the authorities for help?

I've tried them all.

It's not that simple.

His parents simply left him with me.

What kind of parents

would randomly leave their kids with strangers?

You asked him to call you uncle.

Are you actually his uncle?

It could be either paternal or maternal.

The DNA result shows that we're related.

But not to worry.

I've already asked my mom to ask around.

You should deal with the kindergarten first.

Yes, the headmistress said

she's expecting to see

Liang-liang's household registration within the week.

Why so sudden?

The headmistress said

Liang-liang often curls up in the corner to sleep.

And he has frequent nightmares.

He couldn't concentrate in class.

On top of that, he drew this.

"My Home".

What's this?

Have you not paid for electricity?

I pay for electricity, not him.

Thank you.

Anyway, she thinks and strongly suspects

that you might be abusing Liang-liang.

Me abusing him?

Lower your voice.

Maybe he's being bullied again?

That's impossible.

She said that all the kids love Liang-liang.

It's just that recently

Liang-liang shut himself off.

Kids are like that. He'll be fine.

Try to hold this off for me.

No.

I know the headmistress.

If you don't handle this well,

she will call social service.

Can't we just tell her the truth?

She'd report it straight away

if she knew that Liang-liang was a missing child.

Fine.

What do we do now, Mr. Big Shot?

We'll give Liang-liang a warm home.

It's easy.

How?

From now on,

you will be Mrs. Liu.

The defense lawyer Hsiao Li-wei

is your archenemy back in Heng Yu, right?

He's not my archenemy. He's a nobody.

I suspect you're doing this for revenge.

He's not worthy of my time.

I simply couldn't stand the way he threatened Yan-fei.

No. You couldn't stand being replaced by him.

And he's even using your tricks.

Hui-yun.

This case offers more attorney's fees and publicity

than any other case.

I'm confident that we'll win.

Once it's settled, we can pay all our bills.

I'll buy a capsule coffee machine.

No more instant coffee for you.

I don't hate it.

But I do.

Think about it.

Think about it hard.

Give me a capsule coffee machine

and one-year worth of capsules.

Deal.

Lin Xiao-yan!

-What? -What are you doing?

I'm making coffee.

We'll soon have a capsule machine.

Stop drinking that crap.

What do you mean?

I accepted the dog-abuse case.

Are you really taking it on?

Yes.

They say people who abuse animals

are either sick or psychotic.

Do not speak ill of my client.

The Internet has roasted her already.

Are you sure you want to take it on?

Those who roast her are in the wrong!

Use your brain.

Do whatever you want.

Lin Xiao-yan.

What?

I've got a mission for you.

What's this?

It's the basic information of Mrs. Liu.

Memorize it well.

I'm the only daughter of...

A rich landlord!

I'm the only daughter of a rich landlord from the South.

My parents looked down on Liu Lang.

They wouldn't give us blessings.

Isn't this a bit too dramatic?

Not at all.

This is ridiculous.

They broke into private property to shoot a music video

and destroyed the furniture.

Check this out.

They leave all the garbage behind.

What a ruthless bunch.

Okay.

I have gathered the evidence I need.

The condition of the property and the garbage

are enough...

They are enough for us to provide as proof of trespassing.

I'll send you the POA and videos in a bit.

I look forward to our collaboration.

Sure.

Our boss would like to schedule a meeting with you.

No problem.

As Yan-fei's attorney,

what Baby Pet asked for is not reasonable.

My client has nothing to hide.

She'll show up today.

I hope we'll bring an end to this nonsense soon

and clear Yan-fei's name.

Mr. Liu.

Did you deliberately spill the beans about Jhong Le?

Why are you defending Lian Yan-fei? Are you trying to clear your name?

Does Lian Yan-fei abuse dogs for fun?

Does Lian Yan-fei enjoy hitting dogs?

Which channel do you work for?

Don't come near me!

I'll kill you if you come close!

-Yan-fei, calm down... -Go away!

-Get away from me. -It's her!

Are you hitting dogs?

Don't yell.

Miss Jing, would you two worry about Mr. Liu's morale?

Do not answer!

Let's go.

Mr. Liu is notorious. Are you not worried?

We don't do interviews.

Can you please say something?

Yes, talk to us.

Why did you hire him?

-Go, quick. -Excuse me?

Can you tell us anything?

We would've settled this in private.

You had to take it to court.

We might lose and the media has found out.

We could've won today.

The judges were affected

by what happened earlier.

-So I think... -It's all your fault!

You should've talked to me before firing your lawyer.

This one is also a target himself.

Now things are even worse.

All right, fine.

The most important thing now

is to salvage your reputation.

Listen to me.

Fire him.

You're right.

Celebrities are all about image.

And you were caught on camera today.

Now the most important thing should be

winning this case.

With you?

Impossible.

Miss Jing.

We've already worked with two lawyers.

No one truly wants to help me like he does.

Only he is willing to go head to head with the sponsor.

That's the most stupid way to do this.

He couldn't even save himself.

Maybe he's using you to restore his reputation.

Exactly!

That's what I had in mind.

Because I know what it feels like to be blackmailed.

So I will do my best to help you win

and salvage your reputation.

All you do is talk.

Miss Jing.

You made me have a super-occupied schedule.

I have no time to find boyfriends...

I mean, lawyers.

She kicked a dog outside of the court?

She really needs to be locked up.

Your Yan-fei attacked a dog.

That was self-defense.

You can't keep defending her just because she's your client.

Don't you get mad

seeing people abusing animals?

Of course I do.

Let me tell you.

Judging by the situation, she won't win.

I'm telling you she'll win.

We're talking about three million endorsements

and five million liquidated damage.

Look around you.

Don't you think we need the money?

I didn't believe that you were doing this for revenge.

Now I do.

Celebrities are all about image.

You put her on the front page.

Now she's completely ruined.

You should know better. You've been there.

What are you planning?

That was Hsiao Li-wei's doing!

Didn't you once say

don't blame people for pulling tricks when you lose?

Exactly, we have to pull tricks worse than his.

See? You're doing this for revenge.

I am not.

Good luck.

I'm off to see a client.

Have a safe journey.

It's pouring outside.

Where's your umbrella?

You're so careless.

I'm much more thoughtful.

Mr. Xu.

It's the Ghost Month.

Opening an umbrella indoors brings you bad luck.

My only bad luck...

is...

having no luck with you.

You just sprayed water on my face.

-I'm sorry. -Liu Lang.

Take your friend to an exorcism.

I think you need it more than him.

The water sprays really far!

So come to me.

Share this umbrella with me.

I'll go this way.

What a cutie pie.

Nicole.

-You better dry the floor. -Wait.

It's pouring!

No!

It says in the contract

that we could use the keys freely

after the shoot

under certain circumstances.

It was our fault

for not cleaning.

That we did wrong.

However,

it's not against the law.

I've contacted the production company and streaming platform.

They both claimed

that they knew nothing about this.

Jian Jin-feng.

How long have you been a lawyer?

You look young.

Have you got a boyfriend?

Asking a woman about her relationships

upon first meeting is rude.

Just like your company,

letting people into private property without permission.

What's the big deal?

I'll call a cleaning company, okay?

You let out my client's property for a shoot without permission

and caused damages, which is a violation of the contract.

Not only do you need to pay civil compensation,

but you will also be charged with a criminal offense of trespassing.

On behalf of my client, the owner of the property,

I offer you three days.

After three days,

we'll file a lawsuit against you

with the production company and streaming platform.

By the way,

my name's Nicole.

Nicole.

Thank you.

Mr. Zhang...

What are you doing here?

Are you my client?

Surprise.

Thank you.

Do you remember?

Back in the US,

whenever you were done with exams,

you'd ask me to take you to Fleming's for their steak.

This restaurant

was opened by their chef at Stanford.

So...

That's why I chose this place.

How is it? Do you like it?

It's delicious.

If you like it,

we can come more often.

Like we used to.

This meal

costs more than my hourly rate.

A good lawyer like you

should get paid way more.

Right.

Mr. Zhang.

I spoke to the other party before I came.

They would give an official response in three days.

I'll let you handle this.

The reason why I asked you out

is for something far more important.

I'd like to hire you

to be the Chief Legal Officer of my company.

Well, I've got a meeting back in the office.

Thank you

for this.

You're too good for Chu Hsing.

I'll reimburse this meal.

It's on the office.

Thank you, Mr. Zhang.

I stayed in the hospital for a month after giving birth...

After my postpartum confinement,

I took Liang-liang...

I took Liang-liang and ran away to Taipei with Liu Lang.

I stayed at the hospital for postpartum confinement...

But Liang-liang...

I stayed at the hospital...

Then I took Liang-Liang...

Honey.

Mommy.

The mother of my child.

Ling Xiao-yan!

What?

Could you please be more emotional?

I am!

Let me ask you.

What's the most important quality in a lawyer?

I know.

It's the sense of justice.

-It's fighting for... -Nonsense. It's acting!

Good acting comes from the heart

and pours out naturally.

Got it?

By the way...

I haven't...

Sit down.

We have to do this right.

Ring finger, please.

Don't be nervous.

It's also my first time.

What if I can't take it off?

I have to return this.

Here.

All done.

Now we just wait for the enemy.

I stayed at the hospital for my postpartum confinement.

Then I took Liang-liang

and ran away to Taipei with Liu Lang.

So...

The household registration...

and the healthcare handbook

are all back home down the South.

If I risk going home...

Cute sweetheart

...and getting caught by my parents,

we'll be separated.

Don't you go out often?

All the photos were taken at home.

We change the photos on the wall every week actually.

But it has been raining this week.

That's right.

It's raining outside.

Mrs. Liu, if you two are married,

why did you say you were colleagues

when you picked up Liang-liang last time?

It's the truth. We are colleagues.

Yes!

Liu Lang is pretty famous.

We are worried about getting caught by our relatives

so we always say we are colleagues.

We try not to stand out.

Mrs. Liu.

Does Mr. Liu treat you and Liang-liang well?

Of course!

I was asking her.

Although Liu Lang is often busy,

he does love his family.

Just look at the photos and you'll see.

Mrs. Liu.

Let me know if you and Liang-liang are ever in trouble.

Women should stick together.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid, honey.

Ms. Fang.

I'm not a perfect father.

Whenever my wife goes on business trips,

I look after Liang-liang myself.

It's understandable that I make mistakes sometimes.

You should be able to tell from the photos.

I really treasure my time with them.

If the weather is nice this weekend,

we plan to go on a picnic...

and take some photos outdoors.

Yes, photos and picnic.

Is this your definition of good acting?

Will you shut up?

What time is it?

It's 3:00 p.m.

-3:00 p.m.? -Yes.

-Is it correct? -Indeed.

-Are our watches set to the same time? -Yes.

It's 3:00 p.m.! Where is the stunt double?

He said...

What have you got to say then?

-Let me call him again. -Call?

Call the job center instead.

Don't bother coming tomorrow!

He's on his way. Ten more minutes!

Is he on his way?

The director is mad again. Hurry.

Why is the monitor outside under the sun?

Do you know how hot it is?

-The director is pissed again. -While you're in here with AC on!

Yes, I think your stunt double is late.

Move it now! Where's your guy?

I'll move it now.

Do it now!

Director!

What?

Yan-fei, I'm sorry.

For some reason, the stunt double is not here yet.

It's okay. I can do this scene myself.

-Are you sure? -Yes.

-Really? -Yes.

Let's roll!

This is what I call a professional!

Yan-fei was in dispute with Baby Pet for the endorsement fee.

Is this lawsuit related to that?

Mr. Liu, since the Jhong Le incident,

you've taken on many pro bono cases.

Are you restoring your reputation?

Are you trying to take revenge on Heng Yu?

Does Yan-fei beat up dogs to relieve stress?

Do you care about the dogs?

Is Yan-fei...

Can you please respond?

Allow me to say one thing.

Everything I'm doing now

is to protect my client's interests.

Are you done? Cool, bye.

-Excuse me... -Just leave!

-Excuse me... -No, just go away.

Go!

Sir.

Please drive around.

-Sure. -Okay?

Give me a moment.

I need a breath.

Aren't we going on a picnic?

But now I'm a stunt double

for Lian Yan-fei.

Sweetheart?

You've never been in a big car like this, right?

Stay here. I'll be back soon.

You'll get fed in a bit, okay?

Wait for me.

They should be gone.

Try it on.

Give it a go.

Cameraman, come here.

When Yan-fei walks over,

she'll look at the drug dealing.

She'll turn around, then go.

Then you pull the wire.

Okay.

We'll shoot this angle first.

Then we'll film her face.

Sure.

And action!

Okay!

Cut, alright!

Good.

Let's do another one, okay?

-Okay. -Check her equipment.

-Let me go down. -It was a bit unsmooth.

-I hit my knee. -Cue the smoke!

-More smoke! -My knee.

Here?

I'm not sure what I kicked.

Are you alright?

-Ready. -Okay.

And...

Action!

Cut!

Put her down. Let's try another one.

Cut!

More...

Pleasure doing business with you.

Great. Cut. Okay!

Good take!

Thank you.

Three lunch boxes, please.

Are you an extra? What are you?

Can't you tell I play a lawyer?

Hurry. Come on.

Amy is super hot, okay?

Chopsticks, please.

Really?

The dog is blocking the good part. I can't see anything.

This is how she got endorsements.

Endorsements...

See? This is work, picnic, and food.

Here.

I'm full from all the waiting.

I was working.

I want to eat!

Answer me something first.

When you see the headmistress,

what do you tell her about the weekend?

We went on a picnic and took many photos.

Good boy, there you go.
