Chapter 1769: Do You… Actually Hate Lawyers

An Lan looked at him strangely. Her hand he was holding was burning hot. She twitched but didn’t manage to pull it out.

It wasn’t until Sun Xiaoxiao fell asleep that Xu Baohan let go of her hand.

An Lan opened her mouth and he interrupted her softly, “Go out and talk. Don’t disturb her.”

An Lan followed him out gloomily. Before Xu Baohan could say anything, Doctor Liu patted his chest and said, “It scared me just now. Fortunately, Mr. Xu reacted quickly and admitted that you are Xiaoxiao’s mother.”

An Lan looked over in confusion.

Xu Baohan pursed his lips and did not say anything. Doctor Liu looked at his expression and saw that he did not stop him, he then continued. “Xiaoxiao mainly lacks the love of a father and a mother. She has always imagined that Mr. Xu is her father. She has always treated the female nurse in the hospital as her mother when she is ill. She had also mistaken you for her mother just now. If you deny it, it will trigger her illness and she will become hysterical. She will throw tantrum, smash things and even hurt herself. We could only coax her and let her feel that she is always filled with happiness.”

An Lan then realized that she had initially thought that Xu Baohan was deliberately trying to take advantage of her. But now it seemed like she had been overthinking.

“Lawyer An, I still have to see other patients. If you want to see An Ning later, you can just go to the door, but you can’t go in,” Doctor Liu advised before leaving.

Suddenly, she and Xu Baohan were the only ones left on the path in the garden. Xu Baohan’s gaze fell on her face. He did not really understand women’s makeup, but when the sun shone on her face, there were no pores at all. It did not seem like she was wearing heavy makeup, and her lips were not bright either. The faint scent of perfume wafted over, preventing anyone from smelling it.

An Lan felt his gaze and suddenly recalled the warmth of his hand,. She was feeling a little unnatural. “That…”

“It wasn’t intentional just now,” Xu Baohan explained first.

“I understand now.” An LAN waved her hand. “Chief Judge Xu, I didn’t know she was your…”

“She’s the daughter of a client of my trial.” Xu Baohan suddenly turned around and looked at a bamboo tree, “I was a judge in the county and I received a case. It was Sun Xiaoxiao’s parents. One day, when she came back from school, she found her parents dead at home. The reason was because her parents had a conflict with a neighbor and the way they were killed was very cruel. She saw that scene with her own eyes…

After that, she was shocked. However, because she was the first witness to the murder, she had to bear with her grief and testify against the criminal in court. Unfortunately, the lawyer hired by the murderer was very good at sophistry. In addition, the negligence of the police in the county had caused some evidence to be missing. It was originally a criminal case that was set in stone, but in the end, the lawyer scattered all the evidence and successfully let the murderer escape.”

An Lan was stunned, recalling Sun Xiaoxiao’s appearance just now. For some reason, her heart ached, “But Chief Judge Xu, didn’t you say that the judge would only judge based on legal perspective? The murderer hasn’t been convicted, yet you’re so sure that he’s the murderer. That’s really not your style.”

“You’re right.”

Xu Baohan’s gaze revealed a rare hint of forbearance, “Sun Xiaoxiao’s parents’ case was very obvious. However, it happened seven years ago when the law wasn’t perfect enough at that time. This had allowed the lawyers to find loopholes. Now, with the progress of the times, the law is gradually improving. I’m very gratified, but every time it’s perfected, there’s a loss of justice, and I’m helpless.”

An Lan’s heart froze, and she smiled bitterly. Many of her lawyers seemed to be good at finding loopholes. “Chief Judge Xu, do you… actually hate lawyers?”
