Chapter 1942: We Only Care About Money And Don’t Care About Reputation
At this point, the Zhao family was not stupid. Zhao Gui clenched his fists and said, “An Lan, tell us the truth. Are you deliberately targeting us? I remember that our Zhao family has no grudges with you.”
Zhu Wentao clenched his fists and coughed. He nodded and said, “Lawyer An, you know the Zhao family very well. I think we should be more honest.”
An Lan smiled slightly and tapped her fingers on the table, “Recently, not only did those who had been owed money look for me, but there are also other reasons that people look for me to sue you. Let’s not talk about it. It’s probably because your Zhao family has done too many immoral things. Other than your son Zhao Ping’s old affairs, there are also quite a few things about you, Zhao Gui. How should I put it? Like father, like son. This sentence is really not wrong.”
Zhao Gui’s expression changed. He slammed the table and the coffee spilled out. “I’m warning you. Be more polite and if you force me, I’ll do anything.”
“Don’t think that I’m scared.” An Lan hooked her finger at the security guard beside her. The security guard’s tall figure took a step forward. Zhao Gui felt a chill in his heart. People like him always bullied the weak and feared the strong.
“Mr. Zhao, this isn’t my first day dealing with people like you, and it’s not my last.”
An Lan’s expression was calm and indifferent, “I’m serious about talking to you, but you want to fight with me. It seems like you really don’t want to continue talking, so I can only accept all the lawsuits. Don’t even think about threatening me. Look at the people around me. Can you beat them? But as long as you fight, even a little, I’ll make you regret it. Maybe you don’t understand that lawyers are much harder to deal than with judges, because we only care about money and don’t care about reputation.”
Zhao Gui’s expression changed.
An Lan stood up. “Your family’s incident at the court has caused a stir. I’ve heard about it too. You can try and see if you can escape unscathed.”
Zhu Wentao hurriedly stood up. “Zhao Gui, if you really make a move, then I really can’t help you. When the time comes, you’ll have to pay back the money and the house. You’ll also have to go to jail.”
“Lawyer Zhu, whose side are you on?” Yu Fang was anxious.
Zhu Wentao said unhappily, “I’m speaking on behalf of you. I’m not asking you to threaten. This isn’t your small village, it’s a place where the law is enforced.”
Zhao Gui’s second brother quickly stood up. “Lawyer An, there must be a reason why you’re scheming against the Zhao family. Since you’re willing to talk, then there’s room for negotiation.”
“There are still smart people in your family.” An Lan smiled. “Then I’ll be frank. When you were at the court, Zhao Gui, you threatened to jump off a building because you were instigated by a lawyer named He Mingqian.”
Zhao Gui was stunned, and Yu Fang came to a realization. “I get it. Are you related to that Judge? Are you here to take revenge on us on purpose?”
“Shh.” An Lan’s index finger pressed against her lips. “Don’t think Chief Judge Xu is that bad. I’m here because you guys are together with the person I hate the most in my life.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Zhao Gui said angrily. “We haven’t even met He Mingqian.”
“The person who called you away at the entrance of the court is He Mingqian’s assistant.” An Lan narrowed her eyes, “Zhao Gui, don’t play games with me. When I talk to you, I’m patient. When I don’t want to talk to you, there’s no turning back. Don’t be burdened with debts for the rest of your life because of an irrelevant person, even to the extent of not having a place to stay. You don’t have a son. No one will care about you when you’re old.”
