Dean Liang:â...â
âBe frank.â After a while, Dean Liang snapped, âThat restaurant is said to be an elegant vegetarian restaurant nearby. Why would a person like you, who only frequent home cooked food restaurant, go there?â
Xu Baohan was helpless. Everyone in the court was smart.
âHave you found a girlfriend?â Director Liang asked with a smile.
âDirector, since when you started gossiping?â Xu Baohan rubbed the space between his eyebrows.
Director Liang said earnestly, âThe countryâs population is aging rapidly. The country advocates having a second child, but you donât even have a child. As a government official, we should respond to the call at any time and get married for the harmonious development of socialism. Look at you, youâre the only one in the bureau who hasnât gotten married in your early thirties. Of course, I have to care more. Work is important, but donât ruin your happiness.â
â...â
Xu Baohan was speechless. After a long time, he had no choice but to say, âI went on a blind date.â
âWith who? It canât be this little lawyer, right?â Director Liang was shocked.
âYes.â
Director Liang sighed. âWhy would you go on a blind date with a lawyer? You have to be more careful with the information regarding the marriage cases in the future. Even if you two are very clear about your work, peopleâs words are really scary.â
âItâs purely a coincidence.â Xu Baohan paused, remembering An Lanâs appearance. He added, âThereâs nothing bad about it. Sheâs very strong. Even if I devote myself to my work in the future, she can still protect herself.â
Dean Liang was stunned, after a while, he said, âYouâre just getting married purely for the sake of getting married. Your Life is quite long, you still have to find someone you like and have feelings for. However, if you have such thoughts, you probably wonât end up with her, so I wonât worry too much about it. However, in order to avoid it, you should avoid the cases that An Lan has taken over temporarily.â
Xu Baohan frowned. âWhy is it I wonât end up with her?â
âDonât women look for men to marry in the hope of having someone to rely on in the future? Everyone has their sicknesses and frailties at some points in their lives. Your thoughts are just trying to take advantage of the girls. Youâd better not trouble others, you might as well devote your limited energy to your work. You may leave.â Director Liang waved his hand.
Xu Baohan furrowed his brows that could kill a fly as he turned around and walked out.
...
A week later, An Lan was sent to the court by Li Yuchen with the documents for the filing of the case.
It was almost four in the afternoon when she arrived at the court. There was a queue again and she was busy until almost five in the afternoon. An Lan passed the documents to the staff, sister Zhang.
Sister Zhang was shocked when she saw her. âLawyer An, why did you come in person? Eh, you are actually the assistant lawyer this time.â
An Lan smiled calmly and lied, âThis case involves a huge amount of money. Lawyer Li asked me to help him.â
âIndeed, itâs more than a billion yuan in total.â Sister Zhang looked at the information and said, âAlright, wait by the side. Iâll inform you when Iâm done.â
Then, sister Zhang recorded the information and called again. It took her more than ten minutes to finish. âThe judge will mail the summons in a week.â
An Lan nodded and turned to leave. Suddenly, she heard a colleague ask sister Zhang, âWhich judge will be assigned to this case?â
âI donât know, but Itâs not Chief Judge Xu,â said sister Zhang.
âWhy?â
Sister Zhang chuckled, âYou donât know. This lawyer An may soon become Chief Judge Xuâs girlfriend thus have to avoid him.â
âAh...ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
An Lan, who had walked to the door, felt a row of crows fly past her head. She couldnât help but turn back, âSister Zhang, when will I soon become Chief Judge Xuâs girlfriend?â
