Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian Chapter 1766 – Money Could Not Eliminate Loneliness

On Monday, when An Lan went to the law firm, her colleagues looked at her mysteriously.

Li Yuchen came over with a smile, “Lawyer An, you’re not buddy enough. We’ve been partners for so many years, and you didn’t even tell us that you were secretly developing a relationship with Chief Judge Xu.”

Yan Wen looked at him with admiration. “As expected of my boss, she couldn’t defeat Chief Judge Xu in court, so she 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, this Wan Qi’s case definitely won’t be Xu Baohan’s.”

Li Yuchen chuckled, “I understand. With all the rumors flying around, the court will definitely avoid the two of you.”

An Lan nodded, “This is all because I’m close to Xu Baohan. The court thinks that we have an ambiguous relationship, so they won’t allow us to be in the same courtroom for the time being. Actually, we are as simple as clear water. Otherwise, the main judge this time might also be Xu Baohan. He and our law firm’s personalities are simply at odds with each other, so…”

“That’s why you decided to sacrifice yourself and use your charm to win him over?” Li Yuchen’s eyes lit up and he gave her a thumbs up. “Brilliant, truly brilliant. It’s much better than me worshipping the gods in the company.”

“…”

An Lan’s mouth twitched. “Didn’t you hear what I said earlier? We’re as pure as water. However, I did sacrifice myself for the company. I want to increase my share of this case.”

Li Yuchen wanted to cry, but he had no tears. “Don’t be like this…”

“60-40 split,” An Lan thought for a moment and said, “If I meet with Chief Judge Xu in the court and we never meet again without even greeting each other, we might run into him as the chief judge very soon, so the share is really very low.”

“An Lan…”

“Do you think 60-40 split is too little? Do You Want 50-50 split?” An Lan smiled. “Yes, you can.”

“You really know how to steal money.” Li Yuchen could not take it anymore. “Alright, 60-40.”

“Don’t worry. It’s just this one case. I won’t be your assistant for the next case. The money is really too little.” An Lan sighed and sat on the leather chair.

Li Yuchen touched 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 eliminate the loneliness in your heart.”

“Earning money will make me happy, and it’s the only thing I can find joy in now.” An Lan glanced at him indifferently. “If you don’t feel happy, then let’s split it 50-50.”

“No, no, no. Although I don’t lack money, earning money makes me happy.” Li Yuchen waved his hand and quickly left.

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 inexplicably dimmed.

…

For the next few days, an LAN buried herself in preparing for the case. Even on weekends, she worked overtime in the company.

The case this time was mainly about the divorce between Wan Qi, the owner of a chain restaurant, and her hubby Cheng Lei. The couple started from scratch and started a successful business together. Ten years ago, Wan Qi slowly retired from the company and returned to the family. The restaurant business was thriving, however, her husband proposed a divorce. Now, the couple had opinions on the division of the property. Wan Qi thought that Yan Lei was cheating, but she had never found any evidence.

“Lawyer An, this case is difficult,” Yan Wen said. “Cheng Lei is very cunning. He slowly transferred the property five years ago.”
