After she got into the car, she took out her phone and called Song Yitong. âYitong, I bumped into Xu Baohan just now.â
Song Yitong was stunned for a long time. âOh, where did you meet him?â
âThe supermarket near where he used to live,â Zhuang Tianya said with mixed emotions. âHe said he had a girlfriend. Is that true? Have you heard?â
âI heard a while ago.â Song Yitong was a little embarrassed. âPreviously he brought his girlfriend to my dadâs place. He was looking for my dad to fight a lawsuit for his girlfriend. My dad said he was quite nervous about his girlfriend. Tianya, itâs all in the past. Forget it. You broke up with Tang Zheng. Try another suitor.â
âI want to try too, but I canât forget him. When I was with Tang Zheng, I couldnât forget him. I didnât want to break up at all. If it wasnât for saving my dad...â Zhuang Tianya took a deep breath, âYitong, I want to fight for it. Isnât he not married?â
Song Yitong took a deep breath. âDonât be like that. His girlfriend isnât an ordinary person either. She seems to be a pretty good lawyer. Sheâs also a person who wonât suffer any losses. Her reputation online is quite ruthless.â
âWho?â
âNo, I wonât tell you. Otherwise, youâll get yourself into trouble,â Song Yitong said helplessly.
âItâs the first time Iâve seen a lawyer and a judge together.â Zhuang Tianya smiled bitterly. âHow can it be suitable?â
âThereâs no rule saying that they canât be together. At most, theyâll have different courts in the future. They should avoid this when they take cases.â
âThen if they become husband and wife, they should avoid this and that. If they canât tell each other when weâre under pressure at work, whatâs the point? Theyâre not suitable at all!â Zhuang Tianya said firmly.
âWhy are you so stubborn?â Song Yitong really didnât know how to persuade her.

An Lan didnât arrive at Xu Baohanâs house until seven oâclock.
She opened the door and entered. The living room was brightly lit but the kitchen didnât smell homely. Xu Baohan sat on the sofa in the living room and was watching the news.
An Lan was a little unhappy. What was the meaning of this? Since she came back, it was fine if he didnât help with the luggage, but he didnât come over to welcome her. He just sat there motionlessly. However, she was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back, so she didnât mind it. âIs the food ready? Iâm starving.â
Xu Baohan turned away from the sofa, his calm expression clear. âNo.â
An Lan was stunned, but what followed was irritation and anger. When they arrived at the airport, all the other colleagues had their families to pick them up. She didnât have any, but that didnât matter. Knowing that he was busy, she didnât ask him to pick up the luggage downstairs. It didnât matter, thinking that he might be busy cooking at home. Now that she had come all the way here and didnât even have any food, who wouldnât be mad? âIf you donât have any, then forget it. Iâll go back to my place to eat.â
After saying that coldly, she picked up her two suitcases and walked out.
She was also a proud person. Life was already so tiring, there was no need for her to stay and watch othersâ expressions.
âAre you going back to your place to eat, or are you going to ask someone else to eat?â Xu Baohan suddenly stood up.
âMind your own business.â An Lan held back her anger. âIf you donât want to do it, then donât. I didnât force you. If you had said it clearly in the beginning, I wouldnât have come to your place to starve.â
âWhen youâre with me, you will starve; when youâre with Xuan Yuanlang, you wonât.â Xu Baohan walked up to her with a dark expression. âYou lied to me that you were going shopping, but in reality, you were drinking and eating with Xuan Yuanlang in a bar, right?â
An Lan raised her head in shock to look at his gloomy expression. She felt a little guilty that she was exposed just like that.
But how did he know? Who was the informant?
