“There’s no need for that.” An Lan shook her head and whispered into his ear, “Pork trotters are good for your skin.”

Her soft breath on his ear made Xu Baohan’s body stiffen.

When he recalled the teasing in her words, his large hand gently pinched her palm, and he looked at her saying “Mischievous” with his eyes.

An Lan’s lips curled up slightly, with sweetness in her heart.

Song Ruixue and his wife saw the exchange and they looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

“Let’s eat,” Mrs. Song said. “The duck is quite delicious, you guys have a try.”

Xu Baohan nodded and picked up a piece for An Lan.

“Let’s talk about the case,” Song Ruixue said after taking two sips of wine.

Xu Baohan nodded and recounted He Mingqian’s actions, as well as the relationship between He Mingqian and An Lan.

Song Ruixue finally understood why this kid was so relentless. It turned out that He Mingqian was An Lan’s ex-boyfriend.

An Lan felt that Xu Baohan was making a mountain out of a molehill, however, she still braced herself and said, “After He Mingqian broke up with me, he often badmouths me in the legal circle, saying that I get to where I am today by sleeping with men. It’s infuriating but he never said it in front of me and I don’t really care about what others think, so I just turned a blind eye to it. However, he went too far this time, attacking me personally in the public…”

Xu Baohan nodded and continued, “There’s more to that. He Mingqian bullied her because of her soft personality. His slander has caused a huge impact on her life. Not only has he damaged her reputation and maliciously tarnished her name, he has also dealt a psychological blow to her. She is 29 this year, and ever since she broke up with He Mingqian, she has not gone out with anyone. This is a psychological trauma. She doesn’t trust men and fears marriage.”

An Lan was speechless.

F * ck, what did she just hear? When did she not trust men? When did she start to fear marriage?

Song Ruixue’s lips twitched. He almost shouted, “Then why is she going out with you if she doesn’t trust men?”

Xu Baohan continued, “If she hadn’t met me, she might never have been able to walk out of the shadow that He Mingqian brought her. Furthermore, his malicious words have made people doubt An Lan’s abilities. As a result, she has received less business recently. At the same time, it has also affected her income. In short, He Mingqian has harmed her physically, mentally, and professionally.”

An Lan took a sip of the soup, deciding that even if she broke up with Xu Baohan in the future, she’d make it as friendly as she could. He was too tough to deal with.

Song Ruixue also took a sip of the soup to calm himself down. “Tell me, what do you want?”

“Send him to jail, preferably for three years. If it can’t be done, make him pay two million to settle,” Xu Baohan said. “He must publicly apologize to her and confess what he’s done.”

Song Ruixue nodded. “I usually don’t take cases that pays compensation less than 2 million yuan. I’ll make him pay at least three million.”

“Thank you, sir.” Xu Baohan raised his teacup.

An Lan watched in a daze as the two of them clinked their teacups.

She suddenly felt that she had earned too little as a lawyer in the past. She must be more ruthless towards those who dared to mess with her.
