Chapter 1806: He Was Lawyer An’s… Ex-boyfriend
“I said those things because… I didn’t meet the right woman.” Xu Baohan’s lips curled into a meaningful smile.
Secretary Liu was stunned. After a long while, she came back to her senses and smiled. “Then I won’t say anything else. Work hard and let us have a wedding feast this year.”
Su Run, who had been listening quietly from behind, was also stunned.
It had only been one night, yet the had changed his life plan.
This lawyer an was incredible. It seemed that in order to make his boss happy, he had to learn more about Lawyer An.
…
At three in the afternoon, Su Run knocked on Xu Baohan’s office door with a solemn expression.
“What’s the matter?” Xu Baohan was reading the papers. There was a court hearing at three-thirty.
“Chief Judge, the first mediation for Wan Qi and Wu Hefei’s case has been set at the end of this month. Wan Qi’s lawyer is Li Yuchen, one of Zhenyuan’s shareholders. Lawyer An is Li Yuchen’s a.s.sistant for this case.”
Xu Baohan’s expression darkened as his sharp eyes swept over him. “The hearing is about to begin and instead of helping me prepare the doc.u.ments, you’re still talking about this gossip!”
Su Run’s face was flushed red from the scolding.
Xu Baohan rubbed the spot between his brows and put down the papers. He spoke coldly, “Who is Li Yuchen? How old is he? Is he married?”
“Boss, are you going to gossip before the hearing too?” Su Run mustered his courage and asked cautiously.
Xu Baohan glared at him. “I’ve read all my papers but you haven’t. Now answer my questions.”
Su run pursed his lips. The main point of his gossip wasn’t Li Yuchen, but his boss got jealous for no reason. “Um… I’m not sure, but since the two of them are partners, there should be nothing between them. I’ll ask around for you later. What I was trying to say is that Wan Qi’s husband’s lawyer is He Mingqian. It’s said that… he’s Lawyer An’s… ex-boyfriend.”
There was a strange silence for a few seconds. Su Run felt that he had gone to the North Pole. Xu Baohan suddenly stood up and slammed the papers on the table. His face was dark, but he seemed to be restraining himself. After a long while, he asked, “How did you know it?”
“Ms. Zhang working downstairs told me,” Su Run said. “She often deals with those lawyers, so she knows many of them and hears all kinds of gossip about them. I came to you as soon as I heard it…”
Speaking of this, Su Run felt a little sullen that he had been reprimanded for it.
“Tell me,” Xu Baohan turned around, looking as if he was in court. “When did they start dating? How long had they been dating? Why did they break up? How long has it been since they broke up?”
Su Run was a little embarra.s.sed because these were the things that only the people involved knew. “It seems like they have separated for a year. I don’t know how long they’d been together, but I think they broke up because of the guy’s character. I heard from Ms. Zhang that He Mingqian did despicable things to win in court. He’s always hiding behind the scenes, and he especially likes to use public opinion to pressure his opponents.”
Xu Baohan frowned. He knew An Lan loved money, but she was a decent person. He didn’t understand why she had dated such a man.
The more he thought about it, the more displeased he felt.
She had dated such a despicable person, but she wasn’t willing to go out with him. Did it mean that he wasn’t even as good as that despicable guy?
“I heard He Mingqian is quite handsome,” Su Run added softly.
“Shallow,” Xu Baohan said as if his words were gold. “You can go now. I need to change into my robe and prepare for court.”
