The Father’s Trial

The Father’s Trial Plot:

Lin Jianguo, a retired civil judge, finds out his daughter Lin Xiaoman has hidden her relationship with a courier boyfriend for a promotion, even hiring an actor to pose as a “returnee elite” to fool relatives. Disguising himself as a housekeeper, he sneaks into her home to collect evidence of her deception—from the fake boyfriend’s WeChat moments to the scripts she used for colleague surprise visits. When Lin Xiaoman shows off the fake “boyfriend” photo again at the family dinner before her promotion banquet, Lin Jianguo takes out the “trial record” hidden in his apron and reads her “performance outline” of three months word by word. Finally, he asks with teary eyes: “Is the dignity you fought for more important than sincerity?” This gavel-less “trial” smashes Xiaoman’s vanity and helps both generations understand the love hidden behind “right and wrong.”
