Xu Baohan looked him up and down.
This was the Li Yuchen that Su Run had mentioned. He was wearing glasses and looked refined, but his looks were very ordinary.
âIâve seen you before, in court. Oh right, you even tried to bribe me at the entrance of the court, right?â Xu Baohan suddenly smiled.
â...â
Li Yuchen felt like crying. This personâs memory was too good. âChief Judge Xu, I didnât try to bribe you. Even if I wanted to, I wouldnât have bribed you with three dollars, right? I just saw your and tried to show my respect for you. Really, I didnât mean anything by it.â
âYou must focus your mind on the lawsuits,â Xu Baohan suddenly said, âYou think that by giving me a piece of gum, your opponent will think that Iâm on good terms with you and will panic in court, right? Iâve seen this method many times.â
âYes, you are right.â Li Yuchenâs face turned red in mortification. He roared silently to An Lan to come out as soon as possible.
They just couldnât handle this devil.
âOh by the way, you and An Lan were... classmates?â Xu Baohan asked calmly.
âWe went to the same university when we studied abroad, but I was a few years senior than her. Since we are both from Xia City, we opened the law firm together after we returned,â Li Yuchen quickly replied.
âThatâs impressive. Youâre around my age, right?â Xu Baohan said.
âIâm older than you by a few years,â Li Yuchen said embarrassedly.
âThen you must be married.â
âThatâs right, Iâve been married for almost four years and my kid is in kindergarten.â Li Yuchen relaxed.
He wasnât sure if it was just his imagination, but ever since he said that he was married, Xu Baohan seemed to have softened his attitude towards him.
They had walked to the door of the reception room. An Lan happened to be walking out with her client. When she saw Xu Baohan, she was surprised. âWhy are you...â
âI happened to be in the neighborhood doing some business this afternoon, so I had the courtâs driver drop me off here. It saved me the trouble of having to drive over again,â Xu Baohan explained calmly.
An Lan felt weird, but she had a client with her, so she didnât ask more questions. She turned to the client and said, âDonât worry. If you want a lawsuit, just go back and prepare the relevant documents according to my instructions.â
âThank you, Lawyer An. See you later.â
She shook hands with the client.
After the client left, An Lan looked at the time. It was already 5:30 pm.
Li Yuchen hurriedly said, âGo and have dinner with Chief Judge Xu. You wonât find a spot in a good restaurant if youâre late.â
An Lan glanced at him in exasperation. He looked like a lackey now.
âWhich restaurant shall we go?â Xu Baohan asked.
Hearing the question, many colleagues looked over in curiosity. An Lan coughed lightly. âLetâs talk about it in the car.â
She put some documents in her bag and walked out of the office with him. When they passed by the spiritual stage, Xu Baohan couldnât take it anymore and said, âYou lawyers actually believe in such things.â
âGod of Wealth? Of course, I believe in it. All business people believe in it.â An Lan pouted in her heart. Moreover, she had lost more than 10 million yuan this year just because of him. How could she not worship the God of Wealth.
âYes.â Li Yuchen nodded embarrassedly. âOur law firm is planning to pay a visit to Shifeng Mountain on Sunday to worship the gods.â
Xu Baohan had heard of Shifeng Mountain. It was a tourist attraction in the neighboring city. There was a large temple on the mountain, and it was said that many people went there to worship gods.
âIf thatâs the case, then Iâll go with you guys,â Xu Baohan suddenly said.
âI thought you didnât believe in these things,â An Lan could not help but say.
âI want to pray to the gods for marriage. The other reason is to accompany you,â Xu Baohan looked at her and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
