âStop spouting nonsense, you spy.â An Lan rolled her eyes at him. âHe gets jealous easily.â
Li Yuchen chuckled. âI canât tell.â
âWhat can you tell?â An Lan couldnât be bothered with him and walked straight into the reception room.
She pushed the door open and entered. A fashionable-looking man in a tuxedo sat on the sofa. When he saw her enter, he waved with a smile. âHi Lawyer An, we meet again.â
An Lan had a good memory. Wasnât this the person she had met at Xiao Siâs wedding? Xu Baohanâs ex-girlfriendâs ex-boyfriend, how complicated!
âWhy, someone in your family has been murdered?â An Lan returned with a smile and sat opposite him, her elegant legs crossed. âOr are your parents getting a divorce, or is your familyâs company going bankrupt due to a legal dispute?â
Tang Zhengâs smiling face instantly froze.
âIâm only good at fighting these lawsuits.â An Lan rested one arm on the sofa pillow behind her and supported her temples. âThereâs no point in looking for me for anything else.â
âNo.â Before Tang Zheng could finish his sentence, An Lan suddenly turned on the timer on her phone. âHurry up. My fee is four thousand five hundred dollars an hour. We charge by the second.â
âIsnât it two thousand five hundred dollars an hour?â Tang Zheng gnashed his teeth and pointed at the consultation fee at the door.
âThe price has increased. It just increased.â An Lan raised her eyebrows lightly. âI like to slaughter pigs.â
âAn Lan, donât go too far.â Tang Zhengâs face was red with anger, âIâm sincerely looking for you to discuss a collaboration. Our company is going to sign a large project with someone recently and needs a legal consultant. I know youâre good at this. Xiao Siâs company projects have always been your responsibility. I can pay more than them.â
âIâve been busy recently and I donât have the time,â An Lan said with a faint smile. âOf course, if someone in your family was killed or your parents were divorced, I would be very willing to accept it because Iâm very kind and especially like to accept your familyâs cases.â
Tang Zheng stood up in anger. âYou did it on purpose, youâre such a vicious woman.â
âSo many people said that about me today,â An Lan yawned. âBesides, you know very well what your motive is for coming to me. Who knows if youâll dig a hole for me? If you canât take revenge on Xu Baohan, youâll have no choice but to come to me.â
âYouâre afraid, arenât you?â Tang Zheng suddenly laughed and said sarcastically, âLawyer An is so timid, you donât even want to earn money.â
âDonât mock me, itâs useless,â An Lan laughed lightly, âFor a rich lawyer like me, you wouldnât understand our mentality of not wanting to earn money. Besides, Iâm so beautiful, what if you really like me? I donât want to get involved in a sexual dispute and affect my relationship with my boyfriend. Besides, Iâll be a legal consultant for President Nian, Mr. Xiao and the others because theyâre too handsome. A woman like me, who cares about looks, canât reject them.â
In other words, he wasnât handsome enough.
Tang Zheng took a deep breath to prevent himself from being angered to death. âIâm not too bad looking.â
An Lan slowly stood up and walked towards him, âIf you canât catch a womanâs heart, donât even think about using such an improper method to make others unhappy. I know all your thoughts from the moment you appeared in front of me. You can cheat a young lady who has no money or social experience, but your methods are too immature to cheat me. If I were you and her heart wasnât with me, I would never pester. Thereâs a lot of time in life, why would you want to be entangled with a strange woman like me, who humiliate and trample on you, just to upset Xu Baohan?â
The fragrance of her body assaulted his nostrils, and Tang Zheng was slightly startled.
âPay me the money by the minute and you can go now.â An Lan pointed at the time on her phone and showed it to him, then turned around and walked towards the door.
