An Lan rolled her eyes at him. “You’re overthinking it. I was too sleepy and dozed for two hours in the car, but we are… one step closer. The share you mentioned…”
Li Yuchen’s lips twitched. “Forget it. We’ll still split it 60-40. Get to know Chief Judge Xu at your own pace. It’s best if we don’t see him in court for the rest of our lives.”
An LAN recalled Xu Baohan mentioning that he liked her last night. She was in a trance for a moment. If she was really caught by him accidentally, then she wouldn’t be able to bump into him in court for the rest of her life.
“Sigh, what kind of person do you think Xu Baohan is? “An LAN asked wonderingly.
“How would I know? I’m not close to him.” Li Yuchen sighed faintly, “I used to lose cases whenever I had him as the judge and I had thought of a roundabout way to soften him. I ran into him once at the supermarket outside the courthouse, and he was buying chewing gum. I wanted to befriend him, so I offered to pay it for him. In the end, he said that I was trying to bribe him, and then asked me if I knew about the crime of bribing a judicial officer. I was so scared that I ran away. Other judges aren’t as difficult to approach as him.”
An Lan laughed out loud, but she knew it was what Xu Baohan would do.
“Okay, let’s not talk about Xu Baohan,” Li Yuchen suddenly said, “Do you know who Wan Qi’s lawyer is this time?”
“Isn’t it Zhang Shangyang?”
“No.” Li Yuchen looked at her with a complicated expression. “It’s changed to He Mingqian.”
“…”
An Lan rubbed the spot between her brows. “This b*tch. Did you tell Wan Qi about He Mingqian’s past relationship with me?”
“I told her. She’d find out in court anyway. There’s no need to hide it,” Li Yuchen said. “I guess that’s why she used He Mingqian. He went out with you and knows us very well. But I told Wan Qi that we also know He Mingqian very well.”
“Indeed, no one knows this hypocrite better than we do,” An Lan said indifferently. “He has his ways of doing evil things. It’s indeed a little tricky and we must be careful. Call a meeting in a while.”
“Okay.”
…
Court.
In the large conference room, a study meeting was going on.
Xu Baohan’s assistant Su Run noticed that his boss yawned a few times, and there were even tears on his pretty eyelashes.
Su Run was a little excited. When he saw his boss this morning, he had noticed that his boss hadn’t slept well last night. Could it be that he had made some great progress last night?
After the meeting ended, Xu Baohan walked out and bumped into Secretary Liu.
Secretary Liu was a warm-hearted woman. When she saw him, she smiled and said, “Baohan, I heard that you went out a few times with Lawyer An Lan. Are you two dating now?”
“Not yet.”
Secretary Liu’s eyes lit up. “Since you are not dating her, do you want to go on a blind date? The daughter of my husband’s colleague works in the municipal government. She’s 25 years old and single…”
“There’s no need,” Xu Baohan rejected flatly.
“What’s wrong? You promised Old Wu to go on a blind date a while ago. Why can’t you go and see this girl?” Secretary Liu asked, “She’s really a good girl and her work suits yours. I’m not saying that Lawyer An is not good, but she’s too beautiful and too good at earning money for someone like you. You’re quiet and reserved and I think the two of you…”
Xu Baohan stopped in his tracks and said calmly, “The most important thing for two people to be together is to like each other. I don’t think equal status is an important factor.”
“Ha,” Secretary Liu looked at him as if he was a weirdo, “Bohan, this is unlike you. Didn’t you say that you don’t believe in love? You even told everyone not to force you to go to a blind date. You said when the time is right, you’ll find a suitable woman to marry.”
