On Monday, when An Lan went to the law firm, her colleagues all looked at her strangely.
Li Yuchen came over with a smile. "Lawyer An, you're not righteous enough. We've been partners for so many years, yet you didn't even tell us that you were secretly developing a relationship with Chief Judge Xu."
Yan Wen's face was full of admiration. "As expected of my boss. He couldn't win against Chief Judge Xu in court, so he decided to break through emotionally."
An Lan was speechless. This news was really spreading …
"Lawyer Li, please come in."
After closing the office door, Lawyer An turned around. "Lawyer Li, Wan Qi's case this time definitely won't be Xu Baohan."
Li Yuchen chuckled. "I understand. Your scandals are flying everywhere now. The court will definitely avoid letting you two be in the same court."
An Lan nodded. "This is all because Xu Baohan and I are close. The people in the court think that we have an ambiguous relationship, so they won't let us be in the same court for the time being. Actually, we're as simple and pure as plain water. Otherwise, the chief judge this time might have been Xu Baohan. He and our law firm are incompatible, so …"
"So you decided to sacrifice yourself and use your charm to get him?" Li Yuchen's eyes lit up and he gave her a thumbs up. "Brilliant, truly brilliant. It's much better than me worshiping God in the company."
"…"
The corners of An Lan's mouth twitched. "Didn't you hear what I said earlier? We're as pure as plain water, but I did sacrifice myself for the company. I want to increase my share of the case this time."
Li Yuchen wanted to cry. "Don't be like this …"
"Let's split it 60-40." An Lan thought for a moment and said, "If Chief Judge Xu and I meet in the court and never meet each other again, we might run into him as the presiding judge very soon, so the split is really very low."
"An Lan …"
"Do you think a six-forty split is too little and want a fifty-fifty split?" An Lan smiled. "Sure."
"You really know how to rob money." Li Yuchen couldn't take it anymore. "Alright, 60-40."
"Don't worry, it's just this case. I won't be your assistant for the next one. I really earn too little money." An Lan sighed softly and sat on the leather chair.
Li Yuchen rubbed his forehead. "An Lan, you don't lack money. Why are you always thinking about earning so much money? No matter how much money you have, it can't solve the loneliness in your heart."
"Making money will make me happy, and it's the only thing I can find fun in right now." An Lan glanced at him indifferently. "If you don't feel happy, then let's split it fifty-fifty."
"No, no, no. Although I don't lack money, earning money also makes me happy." Li Yuchen waved his hand and quickly slipped away.
An Lan pursed her lips and turned her chair to look out of the French window. The sun was shining brightly outside, but the smile on her lips dimmed.
…
In the following period of time, An Lan buried herself in preparing for the case. She even worked overtime in the company on weekends.
The case was mainly about the divorce between Wan Qi, the owner of a restaurant chain, and her husband, Cheng Lei. The couple started their business from scratch and succeeded together. Ten years ago, Wan Qi slowly retired from the company and returned to her family. The restaurant business was booming, but her husband filed for a divorce. Now, the couple mainly had opinions about the division of assets. Wan Qi thought that Yan Lei had cheated on her, but she could not find any evidence.
"Lawyer An, this case is very difficult," Yan Wen said. "Cheng Lei is very cunning. He slowly transferred the property five years ago."
