Chapter 353: Chapter 354: Future Season Barrister

"Shuyuan, I believe that in the future, you will definitely be a great lawyer," Xu Nianhua said looking at Ji Shuyuan’s often stern face, which looked older than his actual age and was not easily approachable, yet he was very loyal and righteous.

Not to mention anything else, just take the matter of our grandfather, among his many grandchildren, it was only Ji Shuyuan who truly ran around attending to grandfather’s needs.

Even when he was still a student, he could borrow money to treat our grandfather’s illness—this kind of courage is not found in everyone.

There was also the time Ji Shuyuan wanted to help her; he was not at all afraid of the Gu Family’s influence, truly treating her as a beloved sister.

Xu Nianhua’s eyes softened further as she confidently said, "The future Attorney Ji will surely make a name for himself."

"Pfft~"

Ji Shuyuan, who always maintained a stern expression, couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this. He said, "Nianhua, you think too highly of me!"

He was only a freshman now, although he was about to be a sophomore soon, but by the time he graduated, went to a law firm, and then became a qualified lawyer, there were too many uncertainties.

As for being a great lawyer and making a name for himself, Ji Shuyuan had never dared to entertain such thoughts; he just hoped to be a qualified lawyer.

Lawyers, nowadays, were a rare breed, and the future prospects were even more unpredictable. He remembered once, a classmate had dragged him to observe a court session, and when he saw the lawyer, he had only one thought: he wanted to study law and stand up for justice for everyone.

"Shuyuan, don’t sell yourself short, I truly believe you can do it," Xu Nianhua said earnestly, stowing away her smile. Her eyes were filled with a believing light, which gave Ji Shuyuan strength.

Many years later, when the now-famous lawyer Ji Shuyuan recalled this moment, he still felt very warm and touched.

Perhaps, if it hadn’t been for Xu Nianhua’s belief and encouragement, he might not have become a great lawyer.

"Mom, don’t worry, grandpa is recovering very well. The doctor said he can be discharged tomorrow," Xu Nianhua specially called Ji Ying to report that everything was safe.

Only after grandpa returned home did Xu Nianhua go back to the hospital to stay with Ji Xinghua again.

These past few days, Xu Nianhua had been staying in the hospital during the day, chatting with grandpa and sometimes reading the newspaper to him, and the days flew by quickly.

Suddenly, it was the day for Ji Xinghua to be discharged from the hospital. After his discharge, Xu Nianhua planned to take a walk around the streets.

She was a bit resistant at first when she arrived, but after a few days of busyness, Xu Nianhua felt nothing of it; she hadn’t done anything wrong and shouldn’t avoid South City forever just because she disliked the Gu Family people.

Her home was in Gaoliang County, and even if she went to Ningbei later, she would need to go through South City.

"Nianhua, how about I accompany you for a walk?" Ji Shuyuan offered.

Xu Nianhua declined, "Shuyuan, you should hurry back to your work, don’t be delayed. I’m a grown person, I won’t get lost."

However, as Xu Nianhua walked onto the bustling streets, obviously more lively than those in the county, she quickly realized that she was lost.

All the roads looked pretty much the same.

She followed the roads, looking at many things, but ended up buying nothing. Eventually, after browsing a bookstore and picking up a few books, she couldn’t find her way back, regretting why she hadn’t let Ji Shuyuan come with her.

After being bewildered for a while, Xu Nianhua started asking people for directions. Though she didn’t recognize the roads, she at least knew where her uncle’s house was.
