Nian Junting felt a chill run down his spine and cleared his throat, “I’m just kidding. Someone as powerful as your hubby doesn’t need to be protected. I prefer to protect the woman I love. Unlike Xu Baohan, who can’t even protect himself. A woman like An Lan is more suitable for him.”
Luo Sang was amused. “Who would say that about their classmate? But I think An Lan is really cool today. I’m a little charmed by her.”
Nian Junting quickly hugged her and said, “What’s there to be charmed about a woman? Have you forgotten how I protected you in the past?”
“Alright, I’m just saying. I just think that women need to understand the law. They have to depend on the law to protect themselves,” Luo Sang sighed with emotion. “Next time, I’ll ask An Lan for more advice. I’m too weak and useless in the past.”
“Why do you want to ask her for advice? With me around, these aren’t things that you should worry about,” Nian Junting said matter-of-factly. “You might as well spend more time with me.”
Luo Sang didn’t listen to him. Men could be relied on sometimes, but not absolutely.
…
A group of people walked out of the courtroom.
Xu Baohan was the first to speak, ” An Lan, Teacher Song, when did you contact Zhao Gui to testify in court?”
Song Ruixue looked at An Lan with a smile. “It was your girlfriend who brought him here.”
An Lan shrugged. “Don’t worry, I didn’t threaten him. He was willing.”
Xu Baohan was even more confused. “The Zhao family is unreasonable, and Zhao Gui probably hates me. Can you think of a way to make him willing?”
“It’s simple.”
An Lan smiled, “With their personalities, Zhao Gui and his son must have offended a lot of people. I asked someone to investigate and found out that Zhao Ping had borrowed quite a bit of money before he died. I said that I would help those who owed money fight a lawsuit for free. Coincidentally, the house that Zhao Gui’s family is currently living in used to be Zhao Ping’s. They were afraid that the house would be repossessed and they wouldn’t have a place to live, so they were willing to appear in court. I helped to mediate the situation and gave them a sweet date. I also tried to reason with them before they were willing to appear in court.”
Xu Baohan was stunned, but he was also a little impressed. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
He had been worried that An Lan would use underhanded methods, but it appears he was thinking too much. Lawyers had their own ways of doing things.
“Surprise,” An Lan smiled. “He Mingqian used such underhanded methods behind his back. You can forget about it, but I can’t. It would be too easy for him to pay up and apologize.”
Song Ruixue’s eyes were filled with unconcealed admiration. “Baohan, your girlfriend is amazing. She has my style from back then, making me want to take in a disciple.”
An Lan’s eyes lit up. “Teacher Song, are you really willing to take me in as your disciple?”
Song Ruixue laughed heartily, “An Lan, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen a young lawyer who I admire so much. It’s not because you’re the best, but because of your strength and personality. I like you very much, and as a lawyer, you’re also very smart. Although you’re still young, I believe that sooner or later in this circle, your achievements and status will be like mine. To be honest, I am taking advantage of you when I accept you as my disciple. After all, as a lawyer, you’ve already found the method that you’re best at, and I actually can’t teach you anything.”
“Even if I can’t teach you, it’s my honor to recognize you as my mentor,” An Lan said excitedly. “I have admired you for a long time. I used to feel honored to be able to talk to you.”
