Heâs just rubbing it in.
An Lan was depressed. Although she had earned quite a lot of money over the years and made some investments, there were too many places to spend money. She had even opened such a large law firm and had to spend money everywhere.
Especially after that incident, the number of cases that the law firm had taken on was getting fewer and fewer.
She went to France again and spent quite a lot of money on the purchase. She also had to pay off the mortgage for several houses...
âYou knew about it too?â After a while, An Lan cast her gaze over with mixed feelings. âI heard that the Chen Juan case was negotiated in private?â
âYes.â
The case had already passed, so Xu Baohan did not hide it. âThe second trial was lost, and the Chen family really did not have any money. In addition, the Chen Liang family really did not have any money, so they gave in. Lin Hao will be able to go to jail for a year.â
An Lan laughed when she heard that, sneering sarcastically.
Previously, Chen Liang had been crying for justice for his daughter, but that was all. In the end, he could just take a little more money and sell his daughter.
As for her, she had been scolded by Chen Liang everywhere, and she did not know how to describe this kind of person.
Xu Baohan looked at the indignant look between her brows, he said indifferently, âWhat are you angry about? Because Lin Hao didnât get enough punishment, or because Chen Liang took the money and backed out. Now, the media has changed. The person who scolded Lin Hao before has now come to scold you instead.â
An Lan had to admit that Xu Baohanâs words were sharp, but she didnât want to be so easily pierced by the wound in her heart, âI donât blame anyone. I only blame myself. I was the one who took the case, I chose the path. Among the people we lawyers usually interact with, Iâve met all kinds of people.â
âIs that so?â Xu Baohan stared at her without blinking. âYou say you donât mind, but youâre actually holding a ball of fire in your heart, but itâs good that you know your place. Indeed, you should only blame yourself.â
An Lanâs chest heaved up and down. She had never seen such an irritating man.
Xu Baohan continued to speak sharply, âFurthermore, you must have your own selfish motives for taking on this case. Chen Liangâs case has attracted a lot of attention from the start. You want to use this case to regain your reputation, just like how Xu Zhengxuanâs case was overturned previously.â
An Lab blushed and said angrily, âThatâs right, Iâm like that. We lawyers want fame in this industry. Without fame, we canât make money.â
âItâs not always as good as Xu Zhengxuanâs case,â Xu Baohan continued, âThat time, it was because of Nian Juntingâs help and Yi Jingxiâs surrender. Otherwise, you wouldnât have overturned the case so easily.â
âKeep talking. If you keep talking, I wonât be able to accompany you for this meal,â An Lan said angrily.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xu Baohan pursed his thin lips and averted his gaze.
After a minute of silence, An Lan drank two more cups of tea. Suddenly, he spoke coldly again, âDonât make yourself sound so bad. If it was for money, you wouldnât have scolded me like that in the toilet. You just put yourself in too deep. When facing a case, you put too much emotion into it. You think youâre fighting for justice, but youâre not. In court, itâs hard to tell whoâs righteous and whoâs rebellious. Can you guarantee that every case you handle is for the victim?â
An Lan is angry. The first few sentences sounded like this person was comforting her, and then felt like satirizing her, âI can not.â
