âOh right, remember to submit witnesses and material evidence.â Song Ruixue looked at An Lan. âHe Mingqian is spreading rumors outside, so it wonât be difficult to find witnesses to testify in court, right?â
âThereâs definitely no problem with that.â An LAN nodded. He Mingqian was so shameless that everyone who knew his true color detested him.
âDidnât you say you have the messages he sent you when he was courting you?â Xu Baohan looked at her. âShow it to my mentor to see if we can use them.â
Despite her embarrassment, she took out her phone and pulled out the screenshots.
Song Ruixue read them for a few minutes, then glanced at Xu Baohan with a faint smile.
âLet me have a look to see if they can be used as evidence.â Xu Baohan reached for her cell phone.
Without thinking, An Lan jumped up and grabbed his arm. Her beautiful eyebrows, nose, and eyes were almost squeezed together in embarrassment. âDonât, thereâs nothing to see.â
âAn Lan, Iâll see them in court anyway.â Xu Baohan smiled faintly. âDonât worry, I always keep my personal feelings out when I deal with cases. Besides, everyone has a past, I understand.â
His gaze was sincere and calm. An Lan hesitated for a moment and let go of his hand.
Xu Baohan took the cell phone and read the messages. He Mingqianâs WeChat messages were filled with disgusting words, such as, âLanlan, it is cold today, remember to dress warmlyâ, âLanlan, when I see your happy smile today, I wanted to give you the whole worldâ, âLast night, I dreamt that we were together. In the dream, I smiled like a child. When will you accept me?â
An Lan forced herself to forget the contents of the messages and continued to eat as fast as she could.
Xu Baohanâs handsome face remained calm as he finished reading the messages. He put down the phone with a faint smile still on his face, but his eyes were as cold as ice.
Song Ruixue, who knew him well, coughed lightly and said, âWe can use these messages. At least they can prove that you werenât the one who courted him. On the contrary, he was the one who kept pestering you you.â
âGood.â An Lan nodded vigorously. She was so nervous that she had completely forgotten that she was also a lawyer. She understood all of this.
âUm... can I have my phone back?â An Lan braced herself and reached out her hand towards the man beside her.
Xu Baohan maintained his smile. âAn Lan, I finally understand why you said that men full of sweet words are not trustworthy. Itâs because you met a very disgusting scumbag.â
Despite his smile, his words gave her goosebumps. âYes, I was too naive back then.â
âItâs not your fault.â Xu Baohan patted her head. âYou and me met too late. Come, letâs eat.â
An Lan heaved a sigh of relief and nodded.
Then she saw Xu Baohan pick up a piece of pork rib and bit the bone into three pieces with great force. There were even cracking sounds coming from his mouth.
â...â
An Lan shuddered. She had tried to bite a pork rib, but found it was the kind that was impossible to break. How did he do it?
No wonder he loved to eat pork trotters. His teeth were really good. Maybe he bit it while he was thinking of He Mingqian.
After that, the meal was very dull.
Then the three of them sat in the living room to have tea. Xu Baohan actually was very good at making tea.
âBaohan, you havenât talked to your father for a long time, right?â Song Ruixue suddenly asked with a sigh.
