“Sorry, but I only made An Lan’s portion. If you want to eat, you can cook it yourself.” Xu Baohan walked past her coldly.
Li Shuang was stunned. Even though she knew that Chief Judge Xu was ruthless, but this was beyond what she was expecting.
“Chief Judge Xu, are you sure this is okay?” Li Shuang said unwillingly, “I’m her good friend after all. If you were to quarrel in the future… Who knows? You might need my help! Since I will be the one she would approach for things like that…”
“What I know is, I do not have time to spend on other women besides An Lan, I’m very busy,” Xu Baohan said bluntly, “And if that really happens in the future, and you are not mediating it, there is no point of keeping you as a friend. A true friend wants her friend to live a happy life. Of course, if the quarrel happens on a ground that I did something wrong, I wouldn’t have a reason to keep bothering her, so I guess, you are of no use to me.”
After saying that, he took his coat, changed his shoes, and prepared to leave.
When he opened the door, he turned back to warn Li Shuang, “Oh right, An Lan stayed up very late for you last night. Don’t go in and disturb her, let her sleep a little longer.”
After that, he opened the door and left.
Li Shuang was stunned for a moment before she remembered that he had made breakfast for An Lan but not himself. It seemed like he did not even have the time for that.
And yes, she was treated super coldly just now.
Darn, this was the first time being treated like that by her best friend’s boyfriend.
In the past, she had always been fawned on. After all, they needed her one day.
But for some reason, she felt that this was normal.
That was Chief Judge Xu! It would be abnormal if he didn’t act like that.
However, although being so evil and cold to her, he made An Lan breakfast although he did not have the time to make for himself. How sweet.
She suddenly felt a little envious.
However, besides that, she was angry towards An Lan too. How could she not know about her having a boyfriend??
She rushed into the master bedroom angrily, jumped onto the big bed, and directly pulled An Lan out of the blanket.
An Lan, who was sleeping soundly, woke up in shock. She opened her eyes and saw Li Shuang’s face just right in front of her. She screamed in fear and immediately grabbed the pillow beside her and slapped it on her face.
“OMG, what did you guys did last night?” Li Shuang cried out excitedly. “Your body… Hehe… What an exotic night.”
An Lan blushed as she quickly pulled the blanket tighter around her. She had fallen asleep straight last night, without wearing anything… “Li Shuang, that’s enough, I think I didn’t lift your blanket when you were with Deng Zhicheng in the past.”
“That’s because I didn’t hide it from you!” Li Shuang scoffed, “You didn’t tell me about having a boyfriend, and it is Xu Baohan! I knew you two were having something since the last school gathering, but I left early and didn’t go to the KTV afterwards. I really didn’t expect that you will fall for him after cursing him for being a cuckold.”
“Well…Life is unpredictable, right?” An Lan reminded her. “You are about to get a divorce right now, yet you still have the leisure to judge me?”
Li Shuang’s expression changed when she heard that. “Yes, back then, I thought that even if I got a divorce, I would still have you. I didn’t expect you to abandon me and look for a boyfriend… I felt so lonely.”
“Hmm… You still have your son right? Didn’t you say that he is all you need?” An Lan sighed. “Besides, didn’t you also abandon me mercilessly back then? Ever since you got married, you did not even hang out with me anymore.”
Li Shuang was sad. “An Lan, I’m sorry. If I had to do it all over again, I would definitely choose to spend the rest of my life with you. When we get old, we’ll live in a villa and drive a Mercedes Benz. We shall stay single forever and enjoy life happily… Deng Zhicheng? Men? They’re all bastards!”
“Thank you. However, I don’t want to spend the rest of my life with you. I’ve already found the person I want now.” An Lan mercilessly rejected her. ” I shall enjoy a happy life with him.”
“Oh… You are so cruel! Did you forget that I’m a patient with a broken heart?” Li Shuang acted that she was about to cry. “Comfort me!”
“No, I can’t,” An Lan patted her shoulder. “Xu Baohan will be jealous.”
Li Shuang immediately burst into tears. “You all went overboard. Just now, when I said I was hungry, Xu Baohan didn’t even spare me some food.”
“Well, because you’re not me,” An Lan said with a smile. “He only treats me well.”
Looking at her blissful expression, Li Shuang waved her hand. “Goodbye, I don’t want to talk to you anymore. I’m going to bed.”
“Go ahead, since I am so kind, I’ll boil you an egg later.”
Li Shuang was speechless.
She was definitely here to be tortured.
“Speaking of which, you have changed,” Li Shuang said with a snort. “You used to hate him so much, speaking ill of him in front of me. How did you fall in love with him?”
An Lan tilted her head and thought about this question carefully. “That’s before I know him.”
Li Shuang frowned. “So, do you believe in marriage now?”
An Lan patted her shoulder, “Yes, I do. Even if he stops loving me or betrays me one day. I still have me. That’s right. I’ve done so many divorce cases and seen so many unsightly things. But there are people who could still find happiness after that. We could love ourselves more and treat ourselves well, even the partners leave us. We shall believe that we deserve better.”
Li Shuang was stunned and touched. “An Lan, are you trying to comfort me?”
“No.” An Lan shook her finger. “I’m trying to clarify that I’m different from you.”
Li Shuang’s face fell. “I think you and Xu Baohan are a perfect match. Both of you are so evil.”
“Thank you for the compliment.” An Lan smiled.
…
Two days after Li Shuang left, she handed over the information regarding Deng Zhicheng’s infidelity to An Lan.
An Lan did not go to Deng Zhicheng straight. Instead, she started to investigate his company.
Soon, the court day for An Lan and He Mingqian has come.
On the day, Nian Junting and Luo Sang were there at the court too.
“Luo Sang, why are you here?” An Lan was a little surprised. “The court isn’t a good place.”
Luo Sang smiled and said, “Junting asked me to come on behalf of him
today.”
Nian Junting nodded and said, “When a husband was accused of having an affair with another woman. It’s more powerful for the wife to stand up and testify for him. Dear, you have to clear my name.”
Luo Sang sighed and said, “I’m doing this for An Lan. Women are always the poor victims when things like this happened.”
“Maybe not,” Nian Junting said coldly, “If you do not have enough trust in me, you might have believed He Mingqian’s words.”
“Excuse me, we don’t have trust per said,” Luo Sang raised her hand and said, “The one who I trusted is An Lan.”
