Chapter 1005: Cramming Law
Ning Shu hadn’t been feeling well from the start, and now she had to listen to Xia Xiaoman’s incessant weeping. Xia Xiaoman had already spent almost half an hour just to bring up breaking up and she had been crying this whole time. It was the type of crying in which tears silently streamed down her cheeks. Just the sight of it was annoying.
“Alright,” replied Ning Shu.
“Big Brother Wenlang.” Xia Xiaoman forced herself to smile. “Big Brother Wenlang, I hope that you’ll be able to find happiness. Please forget about me.”
Xia Xiaoman’s expression had stiffened for a moment, but then she recalled how despotic and evil Chu Xiaoran was and his almost omnipotent power. For the sake of Big Brother Wenlang’s future, she had to make him leave her.
“Big Brother Wenlang, I’ll leave first.” Xia Xiaoman stood up and looked at Ning Shu for a moment, then smiled sadly. “Big Brother Wenlang…” She didn’t know what to say, so she turned and left.
Her back figure was filled with sorrow. Every single step seemed to take all of her energy as she walked towards the unknown future.
Ning Shu finished the coffee, then prepared to head back to sleep. She really couldn’t focus like this. She needed to get some solid sleep.
She had a basic idea of how to go about this task. She wouldn’t confront Chu Xiaoran directly because right now she was at too much of a disadvantage. She didn’t have the capital to fight with Chu Xiaoran, so she had to go about things slowly.
If this situation was that easy to deal with, the entrustor wouldn’t have offered up his soul to ask for a counterattack.
Not only did she have to get revenge for Xu Wenlang, she also had to create a brand-new future for him.
Ning Shu went back home and slept. After sleeping her fill, she practiced the Unsurpassable Martial Arts for a little while. The original host had been stabbed to death after all, so it’d be good to have some self-defense ability. In the modern era, it wasn’t possible to cultivate much, but it was enough if this body was strengthened a little and her senses became a bit sharper.
As of now, it was already dark outside. Ning Shu stopped cultivating and headed to the kitchen to find some food. Mother Xu had left food for Ning Shu in the pot. After eating a bit, she started looking through the original host’s materials.
Ning Shu had never been a lawyer before, but fortunately the original host had done a lot of homework. He had noted down the entire sequence of arguments and even made annotations on possible situations that could arise.
The original host had all the necessarily law clauses stored in his brain, but Ning Shu had to look through the law books to check on the clauses noted in the papers.
This case was rather large. It was an infringement lawsuit between two large companies. The reason the firm had Xu Wenlang deal with this was because he had outstanding ability. For the sake of this case, Xu Wenlang really had wracked his brains to the limits.
As Ning Shu looked at the thick papers, she started feeling nervous as well and had to take a moment to calm herself down. In this world, her occupation was that of a lawyer, and she had to become a famous lawyer.
That was why, a task-taker really had to have a lot of talents. The most important part was to have an intelligent brain. She was starting to find that intelligence was seriously too important.
Intelligent and martial arts, both of them had to be strong in order for her to walk forward fast and steadily.
Ning Shu silently mouthed the words as she read through the papers. The original host had plenty stored in his brain, so he only needed to sort things out a little. However, Ning Shu’s brain was very empty, so she had no choice but to cram and memorize all of these things.
Fortunately there were still a few days left until the court session. There was enough time for her to get ready.
