Chapter 1935: Chapter 1935

“An Lan, it’s not appropriate to say such things to a woman.” Xu Baohan’s eyes darkened, “You’re by your friend’s side, what about me?”

“You’re not going to be jealous of my friend, are you?” An Lan turned to lie on his lap, “Right now is the time she is most helpless.”

“I need you too, didn’t you see my neck?” Xu Baohan held her hand. “Also, wasn’t your tone just now indirectly telling your friend that her hubby was having an affair?”

An Lan felt guilty, in the end, she raised her head and said, “Her hubby already knows that I’ve discovered it. If I don’t say anything, could I just sit back and watch my friend get caught off guard and let that scumbag take all her assets away? Baohan, I’m a lawyer, I’ve been through divorce cases before, I’ve seen all kinds of heartless men, not to mention that my friend would understand that now is not the time to be sad, it’s the time to wipe away her tears and fight for the best interests of her son.”

“You have a point.”

Xu Baohan was secretly amazed. Women could be soft and firm at any time.

The next morning, as Xu Baohan hugged An Lan and lay on the bed, lamenting that this was the most wonderful part of life, An Lan received a call and pushed him away mercilessly. “I’ll make you breakfast. I have to go to the law firm today.”

Xu Baohan blinked. “Didn’t you say that you would be resting for the next few days?”

“Something urgent came up,” An Lan hurriedly put on her clothes and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll be back in the afternoon.”

“How about… I’ll go with you,” Xu Baohan suggested, “I won’t disturb your work.”

An Lan was stunned. Why did she feel that Chief Judge Xu was following her? “I can’t today, I really can’t.”

Xu Baohan frowned and said, “You’re not actually going to see Nian Junting without telling me, are you?”

“…”

An Lan was speechless and said, “No, let me remind you. Chief Judge Xu, I’m a lawyer, and you’re from the court. Due to our job nature, we need to somehow avoid each other, okay?”

Xu Baohan was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses. Recently, the two of them had been so close that he had forgotten about them. He said, “I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay. I know that you’ve had a concussion recently, so I understand,” An Lan gently stroked his short black hair.

Xu Baohan was speechless.

It felt like she was caressing someone with a mental illness.

…

At nine o’clock, An Lan stepped into the law firm.

Yan Wen immediately brought a middle-aged man into the room. The man was dressed in an old worker’s uniform, his skin was dark and rough. With a look, one could tell that he was someone who worked hard under the sun all year round.

“Lawyer An, this is Wei Cheng who was on the same construction site as Zhao Ping,” Yan Wen said as she poured tea for the two of them. “Before Zhao Ping died, he borrowed 50,000 dollars from him. It’s been more than a year and he hasn’t returned it.”

After sitting down, Wei Cheng said bitterly, “Instead of saying it’s lending, it’s more like I’m afraid of him and had no choice but to lend the money to him. I’m not the only one who has to borrow money. He borrowed from quite a few people on the construction site, adding to more than 100,000 dollars. He borrowed the most from me, so everyone asked me to represent them. After Zhao Ping died, we went to the Zhao family to ask for it. His father, Zhao Gui, refused to admit his debt. Look, this is the IOU.”

An Lan took the IOU and looked at it. “Your case is actually just a small case.”

Wei Cheng nodded. “We’re all working hard to earn some money. You said you wanted us to take the case to court but we haven’t done it. We don’t know how much it will cost. I heard that it’s a bottomless pit but I heard that you’re willing to accept this case for free…”

“It’s very difficult for the people at the bottom to defend their rights now, and they don’t know how to use the law to protect themselves. But now there’s a legal public welfare assistance program. I can take your case for free.” An Lan’s gaze was stern, “Don’t worry, I’ll get your money back for you.”
