Chapter 1908: Life’s Not Easy for Anyone

“But he still cheated after marriage. My ex-husband was quite rich, so I married into a wealthy family.” Sister Li sighed. “As soon as I was married, a lot of scheming took place. Affairs and catfights were common, and too many women threw themselves at him. I was vexed, and he also grew tired of me. Knowing that I was a lawyer, he didn’t want to confront me in court. Instead, he gave me a sum of money, saying it was compensation. I used that money to open this law firm. My dad is a law professor at a university. He has some connections, so the firm has been able to slowly succeed.”

“Life’s not easy for anyone.” Ning Shu sighed.

Ning Shu asked, “Then have you ever thought of remarrying?”

“Ha…” Sister Li had a contemptuous expression. “My mother used to take me on blind dates every day. Those men would look me over from head to toe and disdain me because it’d be my second marriage. Hearing that I had a law firm, they even haughtily said that they wanted to run it with me.”

“Even if I chose to donate my money, it wouldn’t be to those men.” Sister Li rolled her eyes. “I’m someone no one wants, but I won’t wrong myself by marrying such a man. That’d just be stupid.”

Ning Shu nodded. “Some men are quite despicable. They think women will absolutely insist on marrying them.”

“What about you, why did you divorce your husband?” Sister Li asked while eating.

Ning Shu casually said, “I gave birth to a girl, my husband’s family preferred males. Coupled with my severe postpartum depression, the family didn’t like me and wanted us to divorce.”

“It’s okay, that’s all in the past now. Work hard so the child can grow up healthy and happy.” Sister Li comforted Ning Shu.

Ning Shu nodded. “Thank you, Sister Li.”

After eating, they passed by a children’s clothing store and Sister Li bought a piece of clothing for Nannan. Ning Shu accepted it and thanked Sister Li.

Sister Li treated Ning Shu very well. On the one hand, she felt empathy for her as a fellow woman. On the other hand, she hoped that Ning Shu would work hard in the law firm.

Ning Shu didn’t plan on changing firms. Sister Li had been extremely kind to her.

Now that Ning Shu was a lawyer, Sister Li first gave her a small case so she could practice her skills first. Then Ning Shu could slowly take on larger cases.

Ning Shu readily accepted Sister Li’s arrangement. Although she had the ability to accept larger cases, it was still good to take her time. These cases would all become experiences for her. The more successful cases, the better.

Ning Shu went to court for the first time. Sister Li sat in the stands, observing. Once, when Ning Shu had been the second male lead, she fought in countless lawsuits. Hence, she wasn’t nervous at all, but she still took it seriously.

It was easy to win the case.

After the court hearing, Sister Li said to Ning Shu, “The lawyers from our firm are having a get-together this evening, you should go too.”

“Okay.” Ning Shu nodded, knowing that she had entered the lawyer’s social circle within the law firm. In the evening, Ning Shu went to the party and Sister Li introduced her to the firm’s lawyers.

Ning Shu was now settled down in the law firm, so she stopped renting the house in the suburbs and found another closer to the firm. This way, she wouldn’t waste so much time going back and forth every day.

After that, Ning Shu received several more cases and won them all. Sister Li arranged a personal studio for Ning Shu, and now Ning Shu had her own territory.

As soon as the door to the office closed, she could do whatever she wanted.

The female employees who used to say bad things about Ning Shu were still just clerks. Now, it was their turn to get the files for Ning Shu. Every time they saw Ning Shu, their gazes would be especially strange.
