novelxo Chapter 1886. Xiao Si’s Marriage
An Lan clicked her tongue and said, “So you can still be embarrassed. A person like you should have learned that one is invincible when one is cheap. Lawyer He, you didn’t master the skill of being shameless.”contemporary romance
“An Lan… What I said is true.” He Mingqian gritted his teeth. He had to endure this matter. When he met a lawyer like Song Ruixue, he had no chance of winning at all.
Moreover, Song Ruixue had not gone to court for a long time. His first court case after his comeback would definitely attract a lot of attention. When the whole story of this case begins to spread, his reputation would be ruined. What was worse was that the outcome after going to court would be even uglier.
Therefore, for the time being, he could only endure this.
“Do you think I’m a pig?” An Lan sneered. “I know you too well. I remember how you insulted me that day when you stood in the court. Let me tell you, He Mingqian, we have nothing to discuss. Rather than coming to my place, you might as well go back and find yourself a lawyer. As for Wan Qi’s case, you have to be steady. Don’t let your client replace you. I will let you lose in my hands.”
He Mingqian clenched his fists tightly, “An Lan, don’t push it too far. I advise you to leave adequate leeway. You and Xu Baohan are only temporary, maybe he’s just playing with you. Song Ruixue won’t be able to help you forever. How about this, I’ll compensate you for the loss of your reputation.”
“How much?” An Lan crossed her arms in curiosity.
“Eight… eight hundred thousand.” He mingqian endured the pain and said, “For a case of loss of reputation, this is already a huge amount of money.”
An Lan looked at him with disdain. “You want to dismiss me with such a small amount of money? Do you think I’m a beggar? There’s nothing to talk about. You can leave now.”
After saying that, she pressed the timer. “You’re the one who delayed me for twelve minutes today. According to my hourly wage, I’m pay forty-six dollars per minute. You’ll have to pay me five hundred and fifty-two dollars. However, seeing that we’re about to go to court, I can help you round it off, just pay five hundred and fifty dollars. Hurry up.”
He Mingqian couldn’t take it anymore. “An Lan, why don’t you go rob the bank? Alright, I’ll give you a million dollars. Let’s reconcil.”
“Why do you like to talk so much?” Yan Wen said impatiently. “Can’t you see that there’s an hourly wage written on the door of our Lawyer An? Before you came in, she also told you about it. Are you trying to renege on your debt now?”
“You have guts.” He Mingqian’s expression was ugly as he took out six hundred dollars and threw it on the ground. “Keep the change. It’s my tip for you.”
After he said that, he strode away.
Six red notes were scattered on the ground. Yan Wen was furious. “B*stard, if he didn’t pick up this money today…”
“Forget it, pick it up.” An Lan smiled faintly. “Don’t feel bad about the money. He will lose his reputation and even peel off a layer of his skin later on. You have to understand.”
“That’s true.” Yan Wen chuckled as she picked up the money.
“Go treat your colleagues to some delicious food,” An Lan said nonchalantly. “It’s my treat.”
…
At 4:30 pm, Xu Baohan called. “I was in court earlier. I heard He Mingqian came to look for you?”
“You’re really well-informed.” An Lan chuckled. “I wonder who in our law firm became your informant.”
“Guess.” Xu Baohan smiled. “Are you alright?”
“Very well, I knew he would come looking for me, just feeling a little disgusting and I couldn’t even finish my dinner,” An Lan said helplessly.
“If you can’t finish it, then I’ll treat you to dinner tomorrow,” Xu Baohan said. “I’m resting tomorrow. Didn’t we agree to go shopping together last time…”
“I’m going to a wedding tomorrow, Xiao Si’s getting married.” An Lan suddenly remembered that Xiao Si had called her in the morning to ask her to bring a date, and if she didn’t, he would introduce her to a boyfriend.
