Chapter 1056: Image of T City

Xia Xiaoman caught up with Ning Shu and asked, “Big Brother Wenlang, why does Chu Xiaoran still have to go to jail for a year?”

Ning Shu glanced at Xia Xiaoman’s stomach. It was already starting to bulge slightly. Xia Xiaoman had a very pet.i.te frame from the start and recently she had become even thinner probably due to being too worried, so it made her stomach look conspicuously large.

Ning Shu said mildly, “Originally the sentence was supposed to be over three years, but now it’s only one year. I was even the one who secretly helped Chu Xiaoran find that defense lawyer. If you’re still not satisfied with this, then there’s nothing I can do.”

“Big Brother Wenlang, don’t be angry. I didn’t mean anything by that,” said Xia Xiaoman hastily. “Big Brother Wenlang, thank you.”

“Don’t come look for me again. If you come look for me again, the one that’ll suffer is Chu Xiaoran,” said Ning Shu coldly.

Xia Xiaoman’s face filled with bitterness. She suddenly felt that the world was really large and she didn’t have anyone to rely on. Her parents had left and she didn’t even know where they had gone. It was like they had completely vanished from her world. Big Brother Wenlang was also no longer that person who she had grown up with.

She felt alone and afraid. She suddenly felt very fl.u.s.tered and scared of this unknown future.

Xia Xiaoman had never lived independently a day in her life.

Ning Shu started single-mindedly focusing on work and the law firm’s reputation slowly increased. The firm was now not only known in T City, but also well known in the neighboring cities as well. This was the government’s intention. They wanted to establish a good image that could represent T City.

And Ning Shu was the person they’ve decided to push to the front.

Ning Shu collated all the free lawsuit cases into books. There were quite a lot. She really hadn’t accepted a single penny for these cases, and every family’s background had been investigated thoroughly. She had no desire to allow some people to take advantage of this service unjustly.

During this year, Ning Shu visited many cities and towns as the government’s appointed lawyer to spread knowledge of law. She visited many places, walking through mountains, past waterways, and saw all sorts of living circ.u.mstances. While at it, she managed to help some people as well.

When Xia Xiaoman gave birth, Ning Shu returned to T City. Xia Xiaoman had endured labor pains for an entire day and night to give birth to a son, but Chu Xiaoran still had four months before he could get out of prison, so he couldn’t even be there for the birth of his child.

During this time while Xia Xiaoman was pregnant, she stayed in the villa that Chu Xiaoran had bought to hide her. Whenever cleaning had to be done, she just called hourly workers. The money she used was the money that Mother Xia had given her before leaving. When she got short of money, she started selling the jewelry and brand name bags that Chu Xiaoran had given her before. Of course, she sold it so cheaply that it was only a tenth of the original price.

Xia Xiaoman hadn’t been willing to do this before, but there were the utility bills and she had to eat. The pressure of survival forced her to sell these things. She treasured these things a lot because they were presents from Chu Xiaoran, but for the sake of keeping herself alive, she had no choice but to sell them.

Whenever Xia Xiaoman felt very wronged, she’d think about Chu Xiaoran and force herself to get through it.
