Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

Walking into the private chamber, Zhao Gui and his wife, along with Zhao Gui’s two older brothers and the lawyer that Zhao Gui hired, Zhu Wentao, were there.

Zhu Wentao was actually a very unknown lawyer in the industry. Usually, he would take on minor lawsuits and his price was low. After the Zhao family went through their son’s lawsuit, the losses were too great. Now, they could only afford to hire this lawyer.

An Lan was not on the same level as him, she was used to handling big cases. Zhu Wentao subconsciously saw that his aura had weakened by half.

Zhao Gui’s family was also a little stunned. They did not expect the so-called lawyer to be such a young and beautiful woman. However, when she swept her gaze over, it was as sharp as a knife.

However, Zhao Gui quickly came back to his senses. After all, he had been a rogue for a long time. Moreover, he had caused trouble in the court and was able to escape unscathed. Why would he be afraid of a mere woman? “You must be Lawyer An. I advise you to end the Wei Cheng case here. Otherwise, don’t blame us for not being polite.”

Zhao Gui’s wife, Yu Fang, stood out and pointed at An Lan’s nose as she scolded, “Those people from Wei Cheng said that my son owed them money just because of an IOU. Who knows if they are cheating. Anyway, my son is dead and there is no evidence to prove. What’s the difference between this and robbing money? Anyway, we don’t have a single cent. If you want us to return the money, take our lives.”

An Lan did not say a word. She just sat on an empty chair with an indifferent face and looked at Zhu Wentao. “Lawyer Zhu, are you here to negotiate or to threaten? If it’s a threat, can I report it to the police?”

Zhao Gui’s elder brother sneered and said, “Go ahead and report it to the police. We didn’t touch your hand or even your hair. How can we threaten you? The police can’t do anything to me.”

An Lan smiled and didn’t say anything.

Zhu Wentao panicked. The police wouldn’t do anything, and the Zhao family wouldn’t do anything either. However, as a lawyer, if it involved threatening the other party, then it would be a serious problem for him. “Lawyer An, this is a misunderstanding. They don’t understand the law and haven’t studied much.”

After saying that, he warned the Zhao family, “If you guys continue to act like this, then I won’t accept your case.”

“There’s no need to be so nervous.” An LAN raised her hand. “Since we’re going to talk, let’s be friendly. I also hope that we won’t go to court. After all, this is just a small case.”

“Yes, yes.” Zhu Wentao nodded repeatedly. “Lawyer An, under the law, there’s no such thing as a father who pays his children’s debts…”

“I didn’t say that his father would pay. I just wanted them to use his son’s inheritance to pay back,” An Lan said with a smile, “The house you are living in the village now is under Zhao Ping’s name, right? After Zhao Ping died, the house hasn’t been transferred yet. Besides, even if the house has been transferred, the father has inherited his son’s inheritance, so he also has to bear the responsibility of his son’s debts. There’s no reason for a dead person to pay off his debts. You can sell the house and return the money.”

Zhao Gui slammed the table angrily and stood up. “Although the money for that house is under my son’s name, we spent money to build it. If you ask us to sell it, where will we live? I’ve never seen such a heartless lawyer like you.”

An Lan smiled, “Then let’s talk about this house. According to what I know, after the house was built, you still owe the foreman of the neighboring village 90,000 dollars. Until now, you haven’t paid back the money because you didn’t have the money. There was once when you threatened to die as you didn’t have the money to pay back. Now, it has been five years. The other party has come to me to consult about this lawsuit and see if I can represent them for free.”
