Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

Xu Jinfei stared at An Lan with a gaze that seemed to want to eat her up.

He had never been irritated by a woman this much.

When he came here, he had thought about the outcome. She might not buy it, so he naturally had other ways, but he definitely did not expect her to be this tough.

“Okay, good. I’ll make sure that you never think of marrying my son in this lifetime.” Xu Jinfei slammed the door and left.

The deafening sound of the door attracted the attention of An Lan’s colleagues. Not long after, Li Yuchen came over worriedly. “Are you alright? Who’s that?”

“Someone who tried to threaten me.” An Lan smiled indifferently.

Li Yuchen took a deep breath, “He must be out of his mind! How dare him to threaten you. I’m afraid he didn’t know who you are. Lawyers in Xia City are not people one could easily mess with…”

“Well. There are people who think that the whole world should listen to them.” An Lan frowned. She hoped that Xu Jinfei would be smart enough to back off, otherwise she wouldn’t give in easily too.

She was fine to take failures, like losing a law case or letting a client down.

But she would never be bullied for no reason, even if it was the father of the person she liked.

…

After leaving, Xu Jinfei got angrier the more he thought about what has happened just now. He went straight to the court to meet his son but to avail as he was told that he was on annual leave. In the end, he angrily called Xu Baohan directly.

“I just met your “good girlfriend” and I’ve never seen such an uncultured woman. Have you lost your mind to be with her? Wake up! That woman threatened me. Does she think she’s so great as a lawyer and she can do whatever she wants? And she even said that she would get our company out of Xia City. Is she speaking human language? You’re my only son, the company will be yours in the future. I don’t care, break up with this woman right now, she’s too vicious.”

Xu Baohan was making dumplings for An Lan at her place. He had been in a good mood the whole day, but this phone call had ruined his mood.

“What? You met An Lan?” He put down the dumpling skin in his hand, his voice was cold.

“How would I know what kind of person she is if I don’t meet her in person?”

“What have you done to make her so angry?” Xu Baohan asked directly. “Let’s be clear, I am fine if you come to look for me, but you should stop being unreasonable. Otherwise, you may regret it.”

“Bastard…” Xu Jinfei was so angry that he could hardly breathe. “Didn’t you hear me? This woman was so rude, uncultured and ruthless. I don’t care what you think about me, but I’m still your freaking father.”

“An Lan has never been an unreasonable person. She’s usually angry because others have offended her, and I know you very well.”

Xu Baohan couldn’t suppress his anger, “Don’t go near her anymore. I’m already an adult in my thirties. You don’t have the right to decide who I want to marry. Besides, we have already gone our separate ways. There is no way that I would leave her because of parent like you. If you continue to act like this, I don’t mind cutting off contact with you. And I’ll throw you into a nursing home when you get old. And to put it bluntly, don’t think that lawyers are easy to deal with. Even I can’t help you if she really gets angry.”

Xu Jinfei scoffed coldly. “Don’t you try to scare me. Do you think that I will be afraid of a woman?”

“Now I understand why your company would have failed,” Xu Baohan said bluntly, “Do you really think the powerful lawyers win their cases merely depends on the few documents provided by the client? Naive. They have their ways. And smart people, especially business men, would always think of ways to get to know people like lawyers, teachers and doctors…But you….”
