Chapter 1019: Regret Not Studying More

The Xu family’s new house was a little larger than their old house. They used the money that their old house sold for and Ning Shu added a bit of money to buy a larger house. She hoped that the Xu family parents would be able to live more comfortably.
The entrustor, Xu Wenlang, felt very guilty towards his parents for making them send him off before they had even gotten old. He hadn’t had the chance to do his filial duty.
So right now, Ning Shu was helping the original host carry out his filial duty.
The neighborhood was pretty good with a lot of greenery and next to the neighborhood was a city garden. Over half the marriage money Xu Wenlang had saved up for so long was gone.
Father Xu kept saying that it was such a waste of money, but when he saw all the exercise equipment in the neighborhood and all the old men playing chess or exercising, he was pretty happy.
After helping the family settle in, Ning Shu started reviewing the law texts while preparing to head overseas. She had already gotten in touch with the school.
The part Ning Shu was more nervous about was that she might encounter a language barrier there, so she’d have to start learning from scratch.
It was truly that when it came time for books came into use, you’d finally regret not studying more. Every single time she felt like such trash.
She was going to start studying now. There’d definitely come a day when she’d be of great erudition and scholarship and would be able to easily deal with the small problems in tasks.
Mother Xu made a sumptuous dinner. During dinner, Mother Xu kept getting food for Ning Shu, her face filled with heartache as she exhorted, “Make sure to take care of yourself overseas. If you need money, just call home. If it’s too hard, then just come back.”
However, Father Xu said, “Going overseas is for the sake of polishing oneself. Work hard on your studies.”
Ning Shu accepted the Xu family parents’ concern. Early morning the next day, Mother Xu and Father Xu saw Ning Shu off as Ning Shu headed to the airport.
Ning Shu got on the airplane and turned to look at the clouds outside the window. She felt very calm. It was the first time that she felt like she was striving towards a goal for herself in a task. In the past, she was always just trying to come up with a way to complete the task. All she thought about was the task. However, now she was trying to slow down and enrich herself. She’d continuously study to better herself.
The airplane landed in the capital of the foreign country and Ning Shu began the busy life of a student. Since she didn’t know the language well, it was very difficult for her to learn, especially because the debates between lawyers were very strict with wording. The slightest slip would allow the opponent to catch hold of a weak point. Furthermore, the grammar of this language even differed based on the situation.
For the sake of picking up the language as quickly as possible, Ning Shu even applied to work as a waiter at a restaurant. Perhaps it was because Xu Wenlang was pretty good-looking, because the restaurant hired her despite the fact that she was Chinese.
At school, Ning Shu didn’t really participate in the mock trials. She couldn’t even speak clearly, so speaking in a trial was just a joke.
Ning Shu was extremely exhausted every day. If it weren’t for the fact that she had practiced Unsurpassable Martial Arts every day, she probably would’ve already collapsed. However, no matter how busy she was, she practiced the Unsurpassable Martial Arts every day. Chinese people had smaller physical frames than Europeans so they’d often be bullied. Having some martial arts was a must. You had to knock the opponent down so that they wouldn’t dare to provoke you again.
Moreover, in a nation where it was legal to privately own guns, she had to guarantee her own safety. Some people were cruel to the point they didn’t care whether you were innocent at all and would just shoot first.
After half a year, Ning Shu managed to gain a grasp of the language and slowly started participating in the mock trials. Of course, the law she defended with was the law of this country.
At the start, she lost a lot and won very few. There was no choice but to slowly learn.
Ning Shu felt that in the future, she should just add her attribute points only to intelligence and martial arts. For the time being, she shouldn’t worry about the other attributes.
Ning Shu would occasionally help Chinese people with some small lawsuits without charging much of a fee. This allowed Ning Shu to gain some reputation among the lower-class Chinese. All the Chinese that came to Ning Shu for help with lawsuits were people that had hard lives, so Ning Shu would just accept some money symbolically. Of course, she couldn’t allow her service to be totally free.
If she made it free, these people would start to feel that it was only natural for her to help them. People always cared less about things they easily obtained.
Ning Shu had a faint idea in mind, but this idea wasn’t quite fully formed yet. It required more planning.
