“Er… um.. Baohan, if you’re not completely awake, you should go back and take a rest.” An Lan felt that he might not have fully awake. “Anyway, I understand your intention very well.”
Xu Baohan raised his eyebrows and looked at her. “You think that I couldn’t make it?”
An Lan was in silent.
Could this be done looking at the failed attempt of the rich and powerful family in offering him 300 million to make a comeback?
“Song Ruixue used to be my mentor and I was his student,” Xu Baohan said coolly. “We have a close relationship.”
An Lan was amazed and half opened her red lips.
As a lawyer, who wouldn’t want to become such an eminent person like Song Ruixue? He was a legend and her idol.
She got to know that now, Xu Baohan turned out to be her idol’s student.
It was truly enviable.
Li Yuchen was also gasped in astonishment. This was unconscionable. Not only he was handsome, even his mentor was awesome. “I really… didn’t expect it. However, even if you were his student, it shouldn’t be that easy to request him to help you in this case.”
“I can,” Xu Baohan replied calmly and confidently, as though he was saying that the weather was fine today.
An Lan’s lips twitched. “Even if he agrees, it is not necessary for Mr Song to go to court tor such a minor case. It is not a challenging case. I still manage to find a lot of witnesses to prove that He Mingqian discredited me.”
“I want to ensure that I have a 100% chance of winning and absolutely no chance of losing it,” Xu Baohan thought otherwise. “In addition, if we win, it will act as a deterrent to let him know that, you, are not someone he can afford to offend.”
An Lan’s heart trembled viciously. For some inexplicable reason, she felt that as though she had been elevated to the status of an Empress.
However, she could imagine that to invite a legend of the legal profession to engage in a minor lawsuit would definitely cause a sensation. If He Mingqian lost, not only he would be penalized by having to pay a huge compensation, he would most probably be too ashamed to continue to be a lawyer. After this incident, nobody would dare to offend her simply because they couldn’t afford to. Needless to say, it was most likely that none of them in this circle would dare to pursue her because the rival in love was too powerful.
“Don’t worry.”
Xu Baohan noticed that An Lan did not utter a word. He reached out to pat her head. “With me around, I will not let anyone hurting you with no reason.”
“… Thank you.” An Lan lowered her head slightly and took a deep breath. What He Mingqian had done hurt her deeply. With the appearance of Xu Baohan, she felt pretty good being protected. It turned out that it wasn’t necessary she always had to stand up for herself if she had someone she liked by her side.
“Don’t mention it. It is not required between us.” Xu Baohan’s eyes softened. “By the way, are you coming to the court today to handle cases? What’s the outcome?”
“It’s not settled. After this, it might go directly to the court,” An Lan replied with a smile. “Why are you here?”
“I understand that you would be coming to the court today, so I came to see you,” Xu Baohan spoke frankly as he looked at her.
There were still a lot of people around. Once again, An Lan was in a state of embarrassment. She couldn’t help feeling being looked on like an animal, therefore she coughed lightly. “Um… I still have issues to settle at the law firm. You’re at work, right? We’ll keep in touch later.”
“Alright.” Xu Baohan nodded. It was working hours and he couldn’t be late.
An Lan waved her hand and left with Li Yuchen and Wan Qi. She wondered whether it was an illusion, but she had the feeling that a lot of people were watching her from behind. She didn’t even dare to look back.
Watching An Lan left, the gentleness at the corners of Xu Baohan’s eyes reduced gradually.
