Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian Chapter 1749 - I can't accompany you for this meal anymore

Chapter 1749: I can’t accompany you for this meal anymore

He’s just rubbing it in.

An Lan was depressed. Although she had earned quite a lot of money over the years and made some investments, there were too many places to spend money. She had even opened such a large law firm and had to spend money everywhere.

Especially after that incident, the number of cases that the law firm had taken on was getting fewer and fewer.

She went to France again and spent quite a lot of money on the purchase. She also had to pay off the mortgage for several houses…

“You knew about it too?” After a while, An Lan cast her gaze over with mixed feelings. “I heard that the Chen Juan case was negotiated in private?”

“Yes.”

The case had already pa.s.sed, so Xu Baohan did not hide it. “The second trial was lost, and the Chen family really did not have any money. In addition, the Chen Liang family really did not have any money, so they gave in. Lin Hao will be able to go to jail for a year.”

An Lan laughed when she heard that, sneering sarcastically.

Previously, Chen Liang had been crying for justice for his daughter, but that was all. In the end, he could just take a little more money and sell his daughter.

As for her, she had been scolded by Chen Liang everywhere, and she did not know how to describe this kind of person.

Xu Baohan looked at the indignant look between her brows, he said indifferently, “What are you angry about? Because Lin Hao didn’t get enough punishment, or because Chen Liang took the money and backed out. Now, the media has changed. The person who scolded Lin Hao before has now come to scold you instead.”

An Lan had to admit that Xu Baohan’s words were sharp, but she didn’t want to be so easily pierced by the wound in her heart, “I don’t blame anyone. I only blame myself. I was the one who took the case, I chose the path. Among the people we lawyers usually interact with, I’ve met all kinds of people.”

“Is that so?” Xu Baohan stared at her without blinking. “You say you don’t mind, but you’re actually holding a ball of fire in your heart, but it’s good that you know your place. Indeed, you should only blame yourself.”

An Lan’s chest heaved up and down. She had never seen such an irritating man.

Xu Baohan continued to speak sharply, “Furthermore, you must have your own selfish motives for taking on this case. Chen Liang’s case has attracted a lot of attention from the start. You want to use this case to regain your reputation, just like how Xu Zhengxuan’s case was overturned previously.”

An Lab blushed and said angrily, “That’s right, I’m like that. We lawyers want fame in this industry. Without fame, we can’t make money.”

“It’s not always as good as Xu Zhengxuan’s case,” Xu Baohan continued, “That time, it was because of Nian Junting’s help and Yi Jingxi’s surrender. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have overturned the case so easily.”

“Keep talking. If you keep talking, I won’t be able to accompany you for this meal,” An Lan said angrily.

Xu Baohan pursed his thin lips and averted his gaze.

After a minute of silence, An Lan drank two more cups of tea. Suddenly, he spoke coldly again, “Don’t make yourself sound so bad. If it was for money, you wouldn’t have scolded me like that in the toilet. You just put yourself in too deep. When facing a case, you put too much emotion into it. You think you’re fighting for justice, but you’re not. In court, it’s hard to tell who’s righteous and who’s rebellious. Can you guarantee that every case you handle is for the victim?”

An Lan is angry. The first few sentences sounded like this person was comforting her, and then felt like satirizing her, “I can not.”
