"Don't talk about it. The past is unbearable."
An Lan got into the car sadly and quickly wiped off her lipstick with a tissue. She could only pray that she would never meet Xu Baohan again.
…
Due to losing the case, An Lan rested at home for the night and went to the office the next morning.
Just as she made a cup of coffee, her partner, Li Yuchen, ran over anxiously. "An Lan, did you see the news? The lawsuit you lost to Chen Juanqi yesterday was on the news."
An Lan's hand holding the coffee cup paused. She had already expected it. The internet was too developed now. Chen Juanqi being killed by her husband was a gimmick for the news reporters. Not long after the incident, it was covered by many media platforms. At the same time, this case also attracted the attention of many people in society. She had expected that she would be scolded to death by outsiders if she lost the case, so she didn't even open the news app in the morning.
"What did they say?" There was no way to avoid it. An Lan sighed lightly and sat back on the leather seat. She said weakly, "Are they all scolding me for being incompetent?"
Li Yuchen's eyes revealed sympathy. "It's even worse than that. Chen Juanqi's father, Chen Liang, was interviewed by the reporters and said that he regretted seeking a lawsuit. He also said that he was incompetent at all. He believed it wholeheartedly because he believed it.
In the end, he only knew how to scam money and left the couple with nothing. After that, they even lost the lawsuit. However, what made them even more heartbroken was that their daughter's murderer didn't get the punishment he deserved. Now, the netizens are all scolding him. There are even people who maliciously spread his name, the address of his law firm, the school he graduated from, and his phone number online. "
An Lan lowered her head and took a sip of coffee in silence. It was extremely bitter on her tongue.
Li Yuchen looked at her and said angrily, "This Chen Liang is really a scumbag. Something like that happened to their family. They lost the first trial and had no money. They went around looking for people to sue, but the money they offered was pitifully little. No one was willing at all.
They only agreed to take on this case because they were pitiful. In the end, after they lost, they spread the news that they cheated them of their money. They worked hard for a month and only earned a few thousand yuan from them. With their 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 we often meet such people? After winning, they'll be extremely grateful, and after losing, they'll be scolded badly."
Li Yuchen slammed the table angrily. "But I've never seen such a shameless person."
"It's because we haven't dealt with such people in a long time." An Lan shrugged. "Ever since Xu Zhengxuan's case allowed Zhenyuan to gain a foothold in the legal world, we've been earning at least a few hundred thousand yuan per case. The reason why I took their case this time was because I wanted to wash away the negative image my sister had brought me. I have selfish motives. Maybe this is retribution."
"I already said that I shouldn't have taken this case." Li Yuchen sighed. "My sister's matter was caused by her own actions. It's just the responsibility of being a sister and a lawyer. Those people who scolded her know nothing."
"I don't want the Zhenyuan Law Firm, which we've worked so hard to run, to have its reputation ruined because of me. But obviously, I've made it worse." An Lan smiled bitterly. "Chen Juanqi's case is much bigger than An Ning's. I'm going to make things difficult for the company. If things get out of control, I'm willing to withdraw my shares and leave the company …"
