novelThis Is What I Should Do Since You Are The Woman I Like
| ← Ch.1848 | Ch.1850 → |
"You want to run away since you can't win the argument?" Li Yuchen spat bitterly at their backs."If I don't beat both of you in the coming lawsuit, my surname wouldn't be Li."
An Lan was also furious today, but after she calmed down and looked at Xu Baohan, she was touched. He Mingqian had said such things, and he had stood by her side at the first moment. This trust was hard to come by.
"Baohan, thank you for what you had done today."
This was the first time she called him "Baohan."
All of a sudden, Xu Baohan realized that his name was quite pleasant to hear, especially so when it came out from her mouth."This is what I should do since you are the woman I like."
He turned around and stared straight into her eyes as he spoke it out.
Su Run, Li Yuchen and some other colleagues were standing around him. An Lan flushed with his sudden confession, but she didn't feel upset at all. For a man to confess in front of his colleagues, it meant that firstly, he genuinely liked her, and secondly, this had given her the confidence after being humiliated by He Mingqian.
Su Run, in particular, gasped in astonishment.
He was astonished looking at what his leader had just said. Was he the same leader who used to be reticent? It was as if he had been possessed by some weird creatures.
Li Yuchen gave Xu Baohan a thumbs up."Chief Judge Xu, you're so manly. You are much more better than He Mingqian who is such a scumbag."
"Is he comparable to me?" Xu Baohan's handsome face darkened when that name was being mentioned, "An Lan, I thought that your ex-boyfriend was just a person with a bad character, I didn't expect him to be such a scumbag. This isn't just an issue of character, there's also an issue with his personality. He's completely twisted. Any man on the street is better than him."
An Lan lowered her head in embarrassment. Although she was reluctant to accept it, she had to admit that there was a great sense of reasons in what he said, "On this occasion, I wouldn't let him off. I'll sue him personally..."
"Not required to. I'll handle this, " Xu Baohan said calmly."He insulted the woman I like. In other words, he insulted me. I told you that I'll issue him a legal letter. I definitely will."
A Chief Judge issuing a legal letter to a lawyer...
An Lan was touched, but she couldn't help feeling anxious."This... your position isn't quite suitable."
"There is no provision that a judge couldn't be involved in a lawsuit. Judges are human beings too." Xu Baohan stared at her with his insightful eyes."Judges also have emotions and desires."
"..."
An Lan was left red-faced under his feverish gaze that she wanted to crawl into a hole and never came out. What did being a judge have to do with emotions and desires? it wasn't that they were referring to monks.
"Baohan, I understand your intentions, but it would be better if I do it myself. Mr Li could represent me."
"He..." Xu Baohan glanced at Li Yuchen."What if he loses?"
Li Yuchen felt as though he had been shot by an arrow. After all, he was also a well-known lawyer. He wanted to cry being underestimated.
An Lan also looked at him sympathetically."Actually, Mr Li, he..."
"I will look for Song Ruixue to represent me, " Xu Baohan interrupted her.
"Song... Song Ruixue?"
Li Yuchen stammered and An Lan was also shocked. Song Ruixue is such a prominent figure. On the previous occasion, he had participated in the 70th anniversary celebration of the University of Law and Politics which he had graduated from. He was currently the eminent authority in the legal profession. He was now 60 years old and he had not lost a single lawsuit for the last 20 years. He had also rejected an offer of 300 million from a rich and powerful family for him to make a come back. Now, Xu Baohan was looking for him to go to court for such a minor defamation case... ?
