Chapter 1006: Visitors with Good Intentions Wouldn’t Come
Ning Shu was still working on memorizing the contents of this case when her phone rang. She continued silently repeating the clauses as she lifted her phone and took a look. Her eyebrows lifted. It was Xia Xiaoman again.
It was already past midnight, what was she calling for? Ning Shu picked up but Xia Xiaoman didn’t say anything. There was only the sound of suppressed sobs.
Ning Shu pinched the bridge of her nose. If she didn’t remember things wrong, didn’t they break up earlier today?
Although they had broken up, Xia Xiaoman was still very reliant on the original host. She had interacted with and relied on him for some many years after all, there was no way for her to break this connection so suddenly. She had reflexively called Ning Shu. The moment she felt wronged or was hurt, she’d think of the original host.
Whenever she encountered something, she would come cry to the original host. However, when she encountered something big, she’d simply act on her own without bothering to discuss with Xu Wenlang. What did she treat Xu Wenlang as? And by the time Xu Wenlang found out, Xia Xiaoman had already given herself wholly to Chu Xiaoran.
Xia Xiaoman truly had large guts. She actually kept such a huge thing secret.
Despite all these years of being together, Xia Xiaoman actually didn’t say anything to Xu Wenlang even though they had been about to get married. Just this factor was enough for Ning Shu to have a bad impression of Xia Xiaoman.
However, Xia Xiaoman actually felt like she had compromised and sacrificed a lot. What the heck?
“What is it?” asked Ning Shu mildly.
Xia Xiaoman still didn’t speak. She was probably covering her mouth because the only sound was that of heavy breathing. Ning Shu found it very pointless. What exactly had Xia Xiaoman called for?
She wasn’t even speaking. The phone bill wasn’t cheap.
Ning Shu was just about to hang up when she heard a low magnetic voice come from the other end. “Xia Xiaoman, what are you hiding inside there for?”
Follow that, Xia Xiaoman quickly hung up. She seemed really scared.
That voice probably belonged to Chu Xiaoran.
All that could be said about Chu Xiaoran and Xia Xiaoman was that one was willing to hit while the other was willing to be hit.
Ning Shu stopped paying attention to what was happening with Xia Xiaoman and focused on working on this case. After she finished this lawsuit, she had other plans to work on.
These next few days was enough time for Ning Shu to memorize these things. When it came time for the court session, Ning Shu put on her lawyer’s suit and walked into the court with the encouragement of the firm’s boss.
The atmosphere in the court was very solemn and tense, causing Ning Shu to feel nervous as well. She had to silently chant the heart-clearing chant in order to suppress her nervousness.
Ning Shu then closely disputed with the other side’s defending lawyer. Ning Shu had never been a lawyer before and was instantly overwhelmed by the other party which made her even more nervous. She took a deep breath, then forced herself to strictly follow the original host’s set strategy, which was to strictly defend.
She could feel the cold sweat covering her back. This was even more nerve-wrecking and exhausting than being on the battlefield.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that an extremely handsome man was sitting in the gallery. He had a very strong aura and his gaze was arrogant and contempt. This was a cruel and despotic man.
When Ning Shu saw this man, a name instantly popped out in her mind: Chu Xiaoran.
What had Chu Xiaoran come here for?
When Chu Xiaoran met Ning Shu’s gaze, he lifted his chin slightly and almost seemed to smile. However, his entire manner conveyed contempt.
Ning Shu stopped looking at Chu Xiaoran and focused on the lawsuit.
In the end, she managed to win by a slight margin, because her party’s company was the side that had been infringed.
If it had been the original host, he definitely would’ve been able to win much more outstandingly instead of being overwhelmed by the other party. She clearly had an advantage, but it had been so hard for her to win.
There was a need for her to really study. It wasn’t just for Xu Wenlang, it was also for herself. If she continued to be like this, Xu Wenlang’s reputation as a gold medal lawyer would be smashed at her hands.
After the judge announced the result, Ning Shu wiped at her cold sweat, picked up her documents, and left the court.
The moment she got out, she saw that Chu Xiaoran was standing there, seeming to be waiting for her. Ning Shu acted like she didn’t see him and directly left.
A chairman had to deal with a thousand things a day, the fact that he had spent so long watching her fight a lawsuit definitely wasn’t a good sign.
The visitor didn’t have good intentions. Visitors with good intentions wouldn’t come.
