Recognized by My Ex After Being Reborn
Chapter 314 - Chapter 314 314 I also underestimated you

Chapter 314: 314 I also underestimated you Chapter 314: 314 I also underestimated you It doesn’t matter, let him try whatever he wants; if An Li’en can find a job, would Yan Shixiu still be worthy of the title “a refined scoundrel”?

But the outside world doesn’t know their family’s predicament, still thinking that Attorney An, after clearing his name from the fraud case, remains in unlimited glory.

After all, his Weibo posts are filled with smugness and a provocative tone.

…

The little bastard stayed in the hospital for a few days, constantly monitoring the developments after An Zijun turned himself in, knowing that An Li’en hadn’t confessed, his heart was filled with an indescribable bitterness.

Huo Zhao stayed with him in the hospital, because Shi Lan instructed that the little bastard has been emotionally unstable these days, and before things reached a conclusion, he was likely to go to extremes.

After all, this is someone who had walked the tightrope on an abandoned building, so him doing something outrageous again would be within the realm of normalcy.

“My sister… can’t do anything about this scum either?” The little bastard pointed to An Li’en’s Weibo and asked Huo Zhao, “She’s gone quiet.”

“You realize now that he’s despicable?” Huo Zhao asked back.

The little bastard didn’t speak.

“But in your sister’s eyes, this man isn’t a tenth of a percent as despicable as you because he has no ties with your sister, only grudges.”

An Yang was suddenly at a loss for words, taking quite a while before saying, “What about my sister’s breach of contract fee? What’s the plan for it?”

“What could you do even if you got the answer? Help her pay it back?”

“You probably think I’m biting off more than I can chew…”

The little bastard took a deep breath, but in fact, he was harboring a secret. There was a patron at the bar where he sang regularly who came to support him often and also had some connections in the singing industry. This patron had once proposed to sign him on to debut, but there was a precondition: he would have to sell himself, bottom included.

The little bastard was skilled at scheming against his sister, but prized himself highly. Such degrading offers were obviously something he would never accept.

But now, if An Lan truly needed the money to break the contract, he… wasn’t completely opposed to considering it. After all, it might be the only worthwhile thing he could do while alive.

The little bastard didn’t tell anyone, fearing that making a scene would only escalate matters. Once he was able to get out of bed in a couple of days, he planned to try approaching the boss.

Huo Zhao observed the little bastard carefully. In the days of their interaction, he knew that this bastard had numerous flaws, but as a thug, he still commendably had a sliver of a bottom line, which was rare. Moreover, the little bastard’s emotions were complex and his thoughts fickle, completely unpredictable; without careful attention, he might just jump to the rooftop and start performing acrobatics.

Therefore, Huo Zhao dared not let his guard down.

He remembered every single word that the little bastard said to him, and then reported everything word for word to Shi Lan.

After Shi Lan ended the call, she instructed Huo Zhao, “Keep an eye on his contact list, pay attention to the people he reaches out to after he can move around, this little bastard still has plans.”

You probably think I’m biting off more than I can chew…

This sentence, translated, means he indeed has some overly ambitious plans.

Need me?

Go enjoy your coolness on the side, pretentious.

…

The next day, An Li’en drove to another district in search of work, but the moment he presented his resume, all the law firms shook their heads and refused him with a variety of excuses.

Whether it was the bustling city or small towns, there was no path left for him, unless he found another line of work.

Yet, having worked in the legal field for several years, he had no other skills apart from being a lawyer unless it was manual labor.

An Li’en dejectedly opened the door to his home after nightfall, expecting his wife to be putting their child to sleep. However, what he heard from outside the door was the sound of his wife on a phone call.

“Dad has already called me and talked about Li’en’s problem, but isn’t it a bit too much to get a divorce at this time? Our child is still so young.”

“Mom, let me take another look, don’t pressure me like this. If he’s really gotten involved with someone he shouldn’t have, then our child and I need to stay alive, but this matter isn’t urgent.”

“I have my own savings, don’t worry, there’s no need for it now. Don’t be anxious, Li’en just called to say he’s coming home soon, I’ll hang up now.”

After saying this, An Li’en’s wife You Li hung up the phone.

By then, An Li’en, looking morose, walked in and asked, “Has the child fallen asleep?”

You Li was startled and responded nervously, “Yes, he has. How about you? Did you find a job?”

An Li’en put down his briefcase and shook his head, “No luck.”

“How could that be? Even if we underestimated An Lan, she couldn’t possibly have that much power.”

An Li’en loosened his tie, glanced at his wife, and then said, “I not only underestimated An Lan, but I also underestimated you.”

After saying that, An Li’en left the child’s bedroom and went to the master bedroom’s bathroom.

After hearing this, You Li turned pale because she knew that he had overheard her conversation with her mother.

You Li followed him and leaned on the bathroom door, saying, “My mother is just worried about me, after all, it’s no big deal for adults, but now we have a child.”

“I understand my mother-in-law, but I don’t understand you,” An Li’en said as he took off his shirt and let out a cold laugh, “Forget it, I am tired.”

You Li nodded and stepped out of the bathroom.

Because she too felt wronged. She had worked hard for so many years, finally landing a managerial position and was within reach of being in charge of the Asia-Pacific Region. But now, she had lost everything, even beginning to question her life. With such admirable qualifications and experience, why couldn’t she gain a foothold in this city? What was the reason?

An Li’en quickly took a shower, and when he came out, he said to You Li, “I’ll keep looking tomorrow.”

“Okay, I’ll go too.”

If An Li’en hadn’t used his expertise to evade responsibility and escape criminal behavior, the powerful Mr. Shi wouldn’t even bother to dirty Uncle Yan’s hands.

Since neither party would employ common decency, they had to resort to underhanded tactics.

Winning or losing didn’t really matter; what was important was to fight to the finish.

…

Meanwhile, the police officially classified An Zijun’s case as economic fraud because the evidence was undeniable. With An Zijun’s detailed confession, he would soon be transferred and enter the public prosecution phase.

It’s just a pity they couldn’t find evidence of An Li’en’s crimes.

The debt issue of Sister An Lan and her brother finally saw the light of truth, but it was clear that the outcome didn’t satisfy everyone.

The video of An Lan kneeling to the Qu Family for three million is still vivid in memory. It was thought to be the biggest obstacle for An Lan to continue in the entertainment industry since she remained kneeling. However, as the incident gained more exposure, the spectators tasted every flavor of human life.

She did kneel, but she also made herself stand up again.

@Wanzai Noodles: “I hope that after this affair, An Lan’s contracts can have a good outcome. Let this unfortunate child go.”

@Tutu’s baby: “An Li’en continues to escape justice, truly vexing.”
