Chapter 1925: is your mother?

Su Run knew that these lawyers had their methods of investigating cases.

But what prompted him to break out into a cold sweat for Zhao Gui when An Lan mentioned her ability to him?

“Um… Lawyer An, regardless of whether we are talking about the law or something else, we must still follow any other rules and regulations.”

Xu Baohan looked at his woman with a smile. The voice coming out of his thin lips was exceptionally intimate, “I believe that she is a very disciplined and law-abiding person.”

Su Run was speechless. It seemed to him that his leader already trusted Lawyer An blindly.

“A man like you who doesn’t have a woman to protect would never understand,” Xu Baohan threw another sentence at Su Run.

Su Run choked to death upon hearing his leader’s words.

Did his leader had no shame? Despite being protected by a woman, a grown man was still cocky.

Nevertheless, he did seem a little envious. How come he was not as lucky?

Xu Baohan stayed in the hospital for three days.

An Lan’s cooking took a little longer on the third day. It was twenty minutes to one in the afternoon when she arrived at the hospital. A middle-aged woman dressed in exquisite short hair stomped out of the ward angrily just as she was about to enter.

She bumped into the shoulder of An Lan. Her gaze lingered on the young woman’s face for a few seconds before landing on the lunchbox in her hand. The corners of her lips twitched before she left.

An Lan was baffled. The diamond on the middle-aged woman’s neck shone so brightly that her eyes were blurred. She didn’t pay much attention to how the other party looked, but she seemed pretty attractive.

She was puzzled as to who this woman was visiting. Could it be Xu Baohan?

Judging from her age, could she be Xu Baohan’s mother?

An Lan shuddered. She became increasingly convinced that it must be his mother as she contemplated how the woman looked at her. It would have been better to ask Xu Baohan.

When she brought the food in, she saw Xu Baohan watching the television on the opposite wall with a gloomy expression. Nobody knew what was on his mind.

An Lan was about to walk to the bed when he came back to his senses, “You’re here.”

“Yes,” An Lan pointed at the door, “earlier, I bumped into a middle-aged woman. Are you the one she’s looking for?”

Xu Baohan’s expression tightened. He pursed his thin lips and did not say a word.

“Is she your mother?”

It had always seemed strange to her. Over the past two days, Xu Baohan’s fall from the building has been the talk of the town. Xu Baohan’s parents could not have missed the news. His parents ought to visit for such a life-and-death situation, even if they had severed their relationship.

“Yes, she is,” Xu Baohan admitted while frowning, “she didn’t say anything to you, right?”

“No, she just looked at me strangely.”

An Lan never expected Xu Baohan to have such a mother. Her neck and ears were adorned with a large diamond, with a Rolex on her hand. She looked as if she was worried that others would not be able to tell she was rich.

An Lan was rich too, but she was not high-profile. Rich people these days must keep a low profile.

The exception to the rule was President Nian. He had a face that said “honourable” on one side and “rich” on the other.

“What did you tell her? She gave me a weird look.”

“She probably knew you were the one who brought me the food. I told her I had a girlfriend to look after me.”

An Lan glanced at the expensive goat milk and fruits on the bedside table, “Your mother bought them?”

“Yes,” Xu Baohan picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

An Lan kept quiet until he finished eating. Suddenly, he asked, “An Lan, is there anything you want to ask me?”
