1883: Frankly Speaking, I Don’t Like It

Frankly Speaking, I Don’t Like It

Ji Qian and her husband thought that their daughter was really smitten by Xu Baohan, but it was no wonder, as this guy with the surname Xu was quite good-looking.2

"An Lan, do you want to sever our relationship as father and daughter?" An Zhehui's fingers trembled.

An Lan then frowned, but Xu Baohan stroked her hair, he said, "It's good to sever it. I think your parents are too uncaring and stubborn. They will definitely borrow money from everywhere, to aviod them and An Ning from implicating you, let's end it today. We will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow to get a stamp. Otherwise, there will be no legal effect."

An Lan looked troubled. "But..."

"An Lan, they will drag you down," Xu Baohan said with a sigh. "They only have your sister in their hearts. Why do you have to think so much?"

"Alright then," An Lan nodded before looking at An zhehui. "Dad, let's draw up an agreement tonight."

"You two..." An Zhehui's face was red with anger.

Of course, it was impossible to sever the father-daughter relationship. He was just saying it out of anger. With An Ning's current state, it was uncertain whether she would wake up or not. In the future, the couple would have to rely on An Lan for their funeral.

"You work at the court, right?" Ji Qian suddenly sneered at Xu Baohan. "Fine, I will go to the court tomorrow and make a scene. I will say that not only did you seduce my daughter and want my daughter's property, you even encouraged her to sever her relationship with us. I will let your people see your true colors."

An Lan frowned when she heard that. Making such a scene would really affect Xu Baohan's reputation and future.

"Okay, you must remember to make a ruckus," Xu Baohan said with a smile. "Anyway, there are people making a ruckus at the entrance of our court every now and then, but recently, we've been very strict with them. If they make a ruckus, they'll immediately be arrested and locked up for a month. Also, before you make a ruckus, remember to ask around about my reputation. I'm famous for being a cold and heartless judge. A long time ago, I broke off my relationship with my parents as I was cold-blooded and cruel. My uncle and the others didn't have any contact with me at all. Everyone in the court knows about this."

An Zhehui and his wife were completely shocked. From his expression, it didn't seem like he was lying. If what he said was true...

What kind of person had his daughter found.

"An Lan, listen to what he said... how could you be with such a person..."

"It doesn't matter, as long as he treats me well. Besides, it's quite good for him to sever his relationship with his parents. There won't be any conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future." An Lan shrugged.

"It's indeed fine." Xu Baohan hugged her gently. "It can save you a lot of trouble, especially for people like your parents. They're as difficult to deal with as my parents. Fortunately, after severing ties with my parents, I've been living like a fish in water."

"That's right. Looks like I'll have to learn from you." An Lan sighed. "Let's go up."

"But didn't they say they wanted to stay here?" Xu Baohan reminded.

"Do you like it?" An Lan stared at him.

"To be honest, I don't like it." Xu Baohan shook his head. "They're too noisy."

"It's fine if you don't like it." An Lan held his hand and walked in, no longer looking at An Zhehui and his wife behind her.

"Hubby, An Lan, that wretched girl, must have been possessed." Ji Qian stomped her feet anxiously. "Why don't we go to the court and cause a ruckus?"

"What ruckus?" An Zhehui snapped, "If we two retirees were really captured, who would save us? An Lan? She's been bewitched by this person. I think we should go and find out if this Xu Baohan is really cold-blooded and heartless."

"If An Lan really found such a person, it would be a problem for us in terms of relying on her for our funeral," Ji Qian mumbled.
