Zhao Gui and his wife were a little reluctant.

Zhu Wentao frowned and said, “This is already the best outcome.”

Yu Fang said hesitantly, “It’s not that we’re unwilling, it’s just that we really can’t afford it at this time. A few tens of thousands of dollars might be a small matter to you, but we’ve just gone through our son’s lawsuit, and we’ve also arranged for our son’s funeral. We’ve spent over 200,000 dollars, and the money for the funeral was borrowed from a few of our older brothers. When my son died, no one compensated us. We’ve already used up all of our savings. Even if we were to go out and borrow money at this time, who would be willing to lend us money when we are at such an old age with no job and a dead son? There’s no guarantee.”

Zhao Gui’s second brother added, “That’s true. We’re just doing odd jobs to earn some money. Our family isn’t that rich, and we can’t help much.”

Zhu Wentao also agreed, “Actually, I only took a few hundred dollars from them when I accepted this lawsuit, which they borrowed from some distant relatives. They really don’t have any money. Although they’re in the wrong and shouldn’t go to the court to cause trouble, and they didn’t educate their son well, they’re still pitiful.”

An Lan rubbed the space between her brows. “Alright, I’m not an unreasonable person. I’ll talk to the people in Wei Cheng’s case but make sure that you can pay back slowly. However, slowly doesn’t mean not paying.”

Zhao Gui didn’t say anything, but Yu Fang nodded embarrassedly. “Then that’s all we can do.”

Before she left, An Lan thought for a moment and said, “It’s useless to go to the court to cause trouble for your son’s case. The reason why you lost is because you don’t have enough evidence. If you want to overturn the case, you have to find evidence that your son didn’t plan to kill or silence the victims. Otherwise, when there’s not enough evidence in the second and third trials, he will still lose. The court talks about evidence, it’s not a place that whoever makes a big fuss will win. Justice is not something that can be easily challenged.”

Yu Fang was stunned. “Then, Lawyer An, if you help us to appeal, will we win?”

An Lan turned around and chuckled. “I’m sorry, you can’t afford it. My consultation fee for an hour is more than two thousand dollars. If you want me to file a lawsuit, you won’t be able to afford it even if you go bankrupt.”

After that, she left without looking back.

Zhao Gui said angrily, “More than two thousand dollars for an hour. She might as well be robbing people. Besides, I heard that she lost the lawsuit last time and was scolded to death. What right does she have to be so arrogant?”

Zhu Wentao said embarrassedly, “There’s no other way. She’s just that arrogant. Her nicknames are all about money grabbing. But there are really quite a number of people looking for her.”

They were both lawyers, but comparing people was simply infuriating.

...

In the parking lot downstairs, Yan Wen got into the BMW’s co-pilot seat and said unhappily, “Lawyer An, why are you still helping that Zhao guy? I see that they’re still not satisfied with the solution you proposed. This kind of person doesn’t want to pay a single cent.”

“There’s no other way. If we push Zhao Gui too far, he might really resort to extreme methods.” An Lan sighed.

“Didn’t you say that you are not afraid?”

“That’s just me pretending to be confident.” An Lan shrugged. “Besides, it’s not wrong. Even if these two people are wrong, their days in the future will not be easy. It’s not just psychologically, but also in real life.”

Yan Wen turned around and looked at her with a smile. “Lawyer An, you talk tough but you’ve a soft heart. Is that what Chief Judge Xu likes about you?”

...

Back at the law firm.

Just as she entered the door, Li Yuchen raised his chin in annoyance and came over. “There’s a client who specifically wants to look for you. He’s waiting for you in the reception room.”

An Lan was speechless. “What client? Why are you looking at me like that?”

“I don’t know. Anyway, judging from his clothes, he looks quite rich,” Li Yuchen snorted. “He insisted on looking for you, even I was not able to do it. It’s most likely because he likes your beauty, Lawyer An. Recently, you’re good with men. I have to tell Chief Judge Xu.”
