Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

Chapter 1741: Perhaps this was karma

“Don’t say anymore. The memory is unbearable.”

An Lan got into the car sadly and quickly wiped off her lipstick with a tissue. Right now, she was only praying that she would never run into Xu Baohan again.

..

Because she was in a bad mood after losing the lawsuit, An Lan rested at home for the whole night before heading to the office the next morning.

Just as she made a cup of coffee, the partner, Li Yuchen, rushed over in a hurry. “An Lan, have you seen the news? Yesterday, your lawsuit against Chen Juan Qi was on the news.”

An Lan’s hand that was holding the coffee cup paused. She had already expected this. The internet was too developed now. Chen Juan Qi’s death by her husband was a big gimmick for the reporters. Not long after the incident, she was taken over by many media platforms, at the same time, this case had also received a lot of attention from many people in society. She had expected that if she lost the case, she would be scolded to death by people outside, so she did not even open the news app in the morning.

“What did you say?” At this time, there was no way to avoid it. An LAN sighed softly and sat back on the leather chair. She said weakly, “Are they all scolding me for not being capable?”

Li Yuchen’s gaze revealed sympathy. “It’s worse than this. Chen Juanqi’s father, Chen Liang, was interviewed by the reporters and said that he regretted finding you to fight the case. He even said that you were not capable at all. It was because he believed your words that he believed you wholeheartedly.”

“In the end, you only knew how to scam money. After you scammed the couple until they had nothing, you even lost the lawsuit. However, what made them even sadder was that the murderer of her daughter did not receive the punishment that he deserved. Now, the netizens are all scolding you…There are even people who spread your name, the address of the law firm, the graduation school, and your phone number on the Internet.”

An Lan lowered her head and took a sip of coffee in silence. Her tongue was bitter as hell.

Li Yuchen looked at her and said furiously, “This Chen Liang is really a bad guy. Something happened to his family. He lost the first trial and ran out of money. He went around looking for people to fight a lawsuit, but the amount of money he paid was pitifully low. No one was willing to…”

“You agreed to take on this lawsuit because you felt sorry for them. In the end, you lost and spread the word that you cheated them of their money. What did you cheat? After working hard for a month, you earned a few thousand Yuan from them…With your status, what’s the difference between this and a legal aid case?”

An Lan spread her hands and smiled helplessly. “After so many years of litigation, don’t you often meet such people? After you win, you’ll be thanked profusely, but after you lose, you’ll be scolded until you’re drenched in blood.”

Li Yuchen slammed the table angrily. “But I’ve never seen such a shameless person.”

“Because we haven’t dealt with such people for a long time.” An Lan shrugged, “Ever since Xu Zhengxuan’s case allowed us to gain a firm foothold in the legal world, we’ve always received at least a few hundred thousand yuan in one case. The reason why I took their case this time is to wash away the negative image that my sister’s matter has brought to me. I have my own selfish motives. Perhaps this is retribution.”

“I’ve already said that you shouldn’t have taken this case.” Li Yuchen sighed. “Your sister’s matter was her own fault. You were only acting as a sister and a lawyer. Those people who scolded you know nothing.”

“I don’t want Zhenyuan law firm, which we worked so hard to run, to have a bad reputation because of me alone. But it’s obvious that I’ve made things worse.” An Lan smiled bitterly, “Chen Juanqi’s case is much more noisy than An Ning’s. I’ll definitely make things difficult for the company. If the situation gets out of control, I’m willing to withdraw my shares and leave the company…”
